Enabling forwarding will cause all incoming messages to your UGAMail account to be sent to the account of your choice. Helpful if you manage multiple accounts. It is recommended that UGA employees NOT forward their UGAMail to an email address not provided by the University of Georgia. Please see the official policy regarding the Open Records Act and campus email. Faculty and Staff must elect to retain a copy on the server.
