<p>Does anyone know when the ufl email will be up? I need to join the uf network, lol.</p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing myself. If you really want to join the network, though, you can just enable email forwarding from myUFL. I actually used this trick a few months ago to join the UF network, and it got everyone at my school wondering how I was “accepted” so early.</p>

<p>If you can sign into ISIS then you should be able to sign into webmail. Its the same gatorlink name and password.</p>
<p>I can sign into isis and everything but when I click on the webmail part it says there is no inbox, but that’s understandable becasue at the bottom of the page it says it was last updated in October.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure they got rid of forwarding to 3rd party accounts because some official mail from UF was being filtered as SPAM.</p>

Change in GatorLink Student E-mail Forwarding policy at the University of Florida, Effective Oct 01</p>
<p>As Emailed by Marc Hoit, Interim Associate Provost for IT on 03/16/2005:</p>
<pre><code>Throughout the year, the University of Florida has many instances when it is necessary to communicate directly with students about critical information and deadlines. With the advent of WebMail capability at UF, all students now have a GatorLink address and UFID that provides easy access from any computer on the internet. For the past two years, all official notifications from the University of Florida to students have been sent electronically to GatorLink addresses. When the UF email service was originally implemented, students were permitted to forward their GatorLink address to third party email providers. This was a useful process for many students and worked well for a period of time. However, with the increasing problem of unsolicited email (SPAM), the policies of the major third party providers changed. They now regularly block forwarded messages from the University of Florida as a result of their protocols. This has resulted at times, in a large number of students being unable to receive important announcements both from the University of Florida and from listservs maintained by organizations, faculty and staff.
To provide better service and more reliable information to its students, the University of Florida will discontinue the policy that permits GatorLink addresses to be forwarded to third party accounts. Students will still be able to forward GatorLink accounts to other email services that are maintained by their departments in the UFL.EDU domain. This policy will become effective for all students on October 1, 2005. All students are encouraged to begin using their GatorLink email accounts as soon as possible to insure they receive all official correspondence of the University of Florida.
* GatorLink addresses can be accessed through your browser at http://webmail.ufl.edu when you are away from campus or at a public terminal.
* Students will receive more reliable notification of important university announcements.
* Official University of Florida information for students, including deadlines and emergency information, will only be sent to your GatorLink address.
*** GatorLink email addresses will no longer be forwarded to third party (non-UF) email providers such as AOL or Yahoo.**
* GatorLink email addresses can be forwarded to departmental mail servers in the UFL.EDU domain (i.e., servername.UFL.EDU).
* Changes in your GatorLink address can be made at [GatorLink Home Page](http://www.gatorlink.ufl.edu). Follow the links to remove your forwarding preferences.
* The only email address maintained by the University of Florida will be your GatorLink address.
* You can maintain your third party email account but UF will only send official messages to your GatorLink address.
* Student Organizations will have enhanced ability to communicate with their members by using the UF Listserv service. Point your browser to [University of Florida Listserv](http://www.lists.ufl.edu) to establish listservs for your student organizations.

<p>POP and IMAP settings are available, but they don’t work. My phone (and I’m sure most other mail apps) will say “There is no INBOX available”, or something like that. Forwarding works fine, UF network on facebook FTW =)</p>
