Question:

How do I forward my VT Mail to my Exchange account?

Answer:

Note: You must have a Hokies account to complete these instructions. For more information, refer to Obtaining a Hokies Account (http://answers.vt.edu/ask4help/acctpassword/vtkb1687.htm).
  1. Log on to My VT (http://my.vt.edu) using your PID and password.

    Notes:
    • If you want to be warned when you are being logged on to another Virginia Tech service automatically, place a check in the Warn Me Before Logging On to Other Virginia Tech Websites check box. You must place a check in this check box each time you log on to My VT.
    • If you have forgotten your password, call 4Help at (540) 231-4357.

  2. Select the Personal Info tab.
  3. Click the Manage Your Profile link.
  4. Beside E-mail and Forwarding, click the Edit link.
  5. Click the Enable Forwarding button.
  6. In the Enable E-mail Forwarding text box, type: [Your Hokies ID]@exchange.vt.edu

    Note: Replace [Your Hokies ID] with your Hokies ID.

  7. Click OK.
  8. Click the Log Off button.
  9. For increased security, close your browser.
Important: It may take up to 10 minutes before the forwarding takes effect and during that time you will receive e-mail messages on both servers. Therefore, you will need to check both your VT mail account and your Exchange account. After approximately 10 minutes, all your mail will be delivered to your Exchange account.
