Students who entered McCombs before the Summer 2012 semester

As a McCombs student, you can forward your McCombs email to another email address. This is only effective while you are enrolled at McCombs. If you transfer to a different college, your McCombs email address is deleted and your forwarding stops. Upon graduation from McCombs, your email address continues forwarding through Lifetime Email Forwarding. Once you turn on email forwarding, email no longer goes to your Exchange email mailbox.

Is Forwarding For You?

If you are about to graduate from McCombs, then you should turn on forwarding to prevent email from being lost.

If you do not use your McCombs email account as your primary email address, then you may be an excellent candidate for forwarding. The same is true if you rarely use the other Exchange features, like calendars, tasks, or the Global Address List. On the other hand, if you are an Outlook power user who lives and dies by your Exchange connection this may not be for you. While you can forward your mail and still get access to the features of Exchange, it will be less straight forward. It may also be a bit harder to send email from your McCombs address. This may be an issue when corresponding with recruiters.

As with anything else, complicating things makes it easier for things to go wrong. Issues could appear, and it will be harder to troubleshoot why messages you were expecting did not arrive. There may also be some business processes, like sending messages to MBA and MPA cohort lists, that assume you are using your Exchange mailbox. Turning off forwarding is as simple as going back online to MOR, deleting the forwarding address, and updating your profile.
