Verify the status of Google services

​Set the ‘forward messages’ function from @uniupo.it (or @studenti.uniupo.it) to an external email address

To set the forwarding of messages to another mailbox you need to:

  • access gmail
  • at the top right, open Settings. If necessary, click on the "View all settings" button.
  • select "forwarding and POP / IMAP" from the dropdown menu
  • click on "Add a forwarding address"
  • specify the address to forward messages to
  • a window will open asking for confirmation, select "proceed"
  • A confirmation code is sent to the forwarding destination mailbox to verify authorisation
  • open the mail where the messages will be forwarded, find the authorisation message; open and click on the link to confirm forwarding

Please note. Messages marked as spam are not forwarded
There are three solutions to this.

  1. periodically check the spam of the uniupo.it box
  2. set a filter on the uniupo.it box that prevents Google from classifying the messages as spam. Obviously, this means that all spam will be forwarded to the destination box.
  3. disregard spam and risk losing some messages incorrectly marked as spam.
