<p>Does anyone know how to/if its possible to forward email from MyMcgill email to another email account such as Gmail?</p>
<p>I’ve been checking around for such info too, and it doesn’t seem to be possible.
Don’t take my word on it though, you might get better info contacting them directly.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s possible.</p>
<p>Here’s how:</p>

<p>Don’t do it.</p>
<p>The process deletes your exchange mailbox and when you’ll want it back you have to contact IT for them to re-enable it. (I know because I went through that.)</p>
<p>The McGill email is for life (once you graduate) and is a much more professional looking address to use than Gmail, Yahoo, etc. You get IMAP and Exchange (web based) access, so you’re not missing much functionality with it.</p>
<p>Gmail allows you to select which email address you want to use when sending email from your Gmail inbox. I have mine automatically set on my McGill address, which means I uniquely send McGill emails from my gmail inbox. I find it convenient because I’m able to use my McGill address, but I get the endless storage space that comes with Gmail. Gmail has better filters and functionality, and as I use a Mac, a lot of the Microsoft Exchange software is really not that useful for me.</p>
