1. Log Into Wildcat Mail
To start, open your web browser of choice (Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.) and navigate to the Chico State home page. From there, hover over Email at the top of the page, then choose WildcatMail.
Click WildcatMail Login.
Enter your Portal username and password to continue.
2. Open Forwarding Settings
Next, click on Settings located in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
From there, navigate to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP section.
3. Enter Desired Email Address
Click on "Add a Forwarding Address" and enter the email address you want the mail to forward to.
4. Confirm Address
A confirmation e-mail with a number code will be sent to the e-mail address you entered. Copy the confirmation code into the box that appears and select "Verify".
Finally select the radio button that reads "Forward a copy of incoming mail to..."
You can also choose what will happen to the messages in your WildcatMail account once they are forwarded:
* Keep CSU, Chico Mail's copy in the Inbox: original unread copy of the email will remain in your WildcatMail inbox.
* Mark CSU, Chico Mail's copy as read: keep original copy of the email in your WildcatMail inbox, but mark it as read.
* Archive CSU, Chico Mail's copy: places the original unread email in your WildcatMail's "All Mail" folder.
* Delete CSU, Chico Mail's copy: places the original unread message in your WildcatMail's "Trash" folder, where it will remail for 30 days before being permanently deleted.
If you want to set up forwarding and then forget about it indefinitely, then the Delete option is the one you should choose. Otherwise you run the risk of going over the size limit on your account.
