Redirecting emails outside of Aalto University (students only)

If you are a student at Aalto University, you can, if you so wish, redirect your Aalto emails to an email address of your choice, outside of Aalto University. Emails are redirected via Aalto University’s Webmail system.

If you redirect your emails, make sure that there is no redirection from the target address back to your Aalto University email; this helps avoid the bouncing of messages from one address to the next (‘mail loop’).

Redirection of emails outside of Aalto University is permitted for students only. If the user is a staff member at Aalto University or has a twin role (a staff member and student), redirection of emails outside of Aalto is prohibited in accordance with subsection 2.3 of the Aalto policy called Policy governing the use of emails (for Aalto University units and staff members). Further information is available here (please log in).

Follow the instructions below to transfer all the messages received in your Aalto email box to the external email address specified by you, so you can then delete them from your Aalto email box.
