Email - Automated Forwarding


This article shares updated restrictions imposed on forwarding to Non-UA Outlook email accounts.

As of October 20, 2026, University members are prohibited from automatically forwarding their UA email to a non-University email account as outlined in the University's new Email Policy.

Note: This change does not impact service accounts.

Alternatives to Forwarding

Instead of forwarding your university email, try these options:

Add an Account
If you need to use multiple email accounts, add them to your main account rather than setting up a forward.  See the Outlook - Adding Multiple Accounts article for help.

Browser Options

If you don't want to set up multiple accounts in Outlook, try these options:

Option 1: Use browser profiles
Most modern browsers let you switch between profiles. In Chrome or Firefox, select the profile icon in the top-right corner to toggle between your university and personal accounts.

Option 2: Use private browsing
Open a private browsing window to access your secondary inbox without affecting your main session.

Option 3: Use a different browser
Access your secondary inbox in a different browser than you use for your primary account. This keeps sessions separate and prevents conflicts.
