Forward Correspondence
New, incoming email arriving at your
OEB account can be forwarded to another
account and an autoreply vacation
message sent informing the sender
of your new email address.
You may change your forwarding information
via these account tools even
after your account has expired.
Please note that these services are
only temporary and will end when your
account is deleted.
To use email forwarding, you must have another account to which incoming messages can be directed. If you do not have another account and you wish to set up mail forwarding, you will need to open an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). A helpful website is http://thelist.internet.com.
If you have registered any domain names, and are using your OEB email address as the contact address for these domains, be certain to update your contact address with your domain name registry before your email forwarding ends.
Register with Alumni Association for permanent email forwarding
(for alumni only)- Register for a Post.Harvard forwarding address (if eligible)
The Harvard Alumni Association offers permanent, lifetime email forwarding for alumni. It is a forwarding service that gives you a permanent email address, such as yourname@post.harvard.edu. Messages sent to your Post.Harvard address are forwarded directly to an email account you provide to the service.
Please note:
- This email forwarding address is not an account. It will not replace your current email Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your Harvard email account.
- Setting up a Post.Harvard forwarding address does not mean that email sent toyour OEB account will automatically forward to your Post.Harvard address. You must set up mail forwarding from your OEB account yourself.
