Setting up or removing an email forward for your ULID email account

You may set up an email forward so any email sent to your ULID email account is automatically forwarded to another email address of your choosing.

How to Set Up an Email Forward

  1. Go to http://www.ilstu.edu/ulid/.
  2. Click on ULID Email Forwarding.
  3. Log in using your ULID and password.
  4. Enter the email address to which you would like to have your email forwarded.
  5. Verify that the information is correct, and then click Submit.
Email sent to your ilstu.edu account will now be forwarded to the email address you specified in step 4. This change only applies to new email you receive from this point forward. You can still use your ilstu.edu email address to send email.

Important!
You should immediately test your email forward to make sure it works as expected. Send a new email to your ilstu.edu address. After a moment, log in to your other email account (the one you've forwarded your university email to) and verify that you received the message. For more information, see 1128: I forwarded my email, but my ilstu.edu email never shows up.

How to Remove an Email Forward

  1. Go to http://www.ilstu.edu/ulid/.
  2. Click on ULID Email Forwarding.
  3. Log in using your ULID and password.
  4. Check checkbox labeled Remove forward.
  5. Click Submit.
After removing your email forward, you will once again be able to receive email with your ilstu.edu account.
