Office 365 has a feature that allows you to forward messages sent to your Office 365 account to a personal email account. If you are going to forward your email to another account, we recommend using this method as it doesn't rely on a third party program. Note: This only forwards new mail from your Inbox, not mail in subfolders.  

How to Forward Your Email to Another Account: 

  1. Login to your Office 365 email account.
  2. Click Settings (gear icon in the upper right-hand of your screen). 
  3. At the bottom of the Settings panel, Click View all Outlook settings - Click Mail.
  4. Click Forwarding
  5. Under the "Forwarding" heading, select Enable Forwarding
  6. Type the email address you wish to forward your mail (e.g., gmail, hotmail, etc.)
  7. Recommended: Select "Keep a copy of all forwarded messages"
    Note: if you do not select this, nothing sent to your username@nwfsc.edu email account will be saved in your university mailbox.
  8. Select Save.
