To make sure that messages sent to your virtual Columbia email address (youruni@columbia.edu) are delivered to your CUIMC email account, you must set up UNI mail forwarding.
- IMPORTANT: Setting automatic forwarding from your CUIMC email address to a non-CU/Hospital OHCA account is prohibited and can result in permanent loss of incoming messages.
- It is also no longer possible to forward from a Columbia (uni@columbia.edu) address to an external email account. Eventually, Columbia University will remove existing external forwarding from any @columbia.edu accounts.
- Go to Columbia's Manage My UNI website at http://cuit.columbia.edu/cuit/manage-my-uni
- Select the link for UNI Mail Forwarding.
- At the login prompt enter your Columbia UNI and its password (the same used for myColumbia, CourseWorks or SSOL).
If you elected to use Columbia University MFA for optional or all web applications, you will also be prompted to use CAS Multifactor Authentication/CU Duo.
- At the Mail Forwarding page, type your full CUIMC email address into the Forward to: field. The format for CUIMC email addresses is uni@cumc.columbia.edu, where uni is your own individual Columbia UNI.
- Select the Save Changes button at the bottom right of the page. You will see a message that your forwarding will take approximately 15 minutes to begin.
- Select the Logout link to exit the Mail Forwarding page.
Once forwarding takes effect, any messages addressed to your virtual @columbia.edu address will automatically be forwarded to your CUIMC email account.
