How to Use Mail-Forwarding with MEMO


Although all students receive a Mason MEMO email account, many students prefer to use an email
account through their own Internet Service Provider and do not receive mail sent to them
through their Mason account.  This makes it more difficult for the University to share important information with all students.

To help solve the problem of multiple email accounts, students can configure their Mason MEMO account to
automatically forward all received messages to a specified email address.

**********************************************************

 To enable mail forwarding:

1.  Log into your MEMO email account by going to http://mail.gmu.edu.
2.  After logging in, click on OPTIONS and select SETTINGS from the list of available options.
3.  Enter the e-mail address (or addresses) you would like to have your MEMO email forwarded
to. If you have multiple addresses you would like to forward mail to, enter each address on a
separate line.
4.  Click on SAVE CHANGES button at the bottom right

All new mail {addressed to you at GMU}will now go to your MEMO account inbox
and be forwarded to the address or addresses you have specified.

Note that MEMO will still keep a copy of each forwarded message.  You may want to periodically
check your MEMO account and delete the copies of forwarded messages to ensure that you do not
go over your quota.  If you do go over your quota, the system will no longer be able to forward
your email.

*************************************************************

If students have not yet activated their MEMO account, they need to go to the activation page
at https://maria.gmu.edu/e-mail and follow the directions there.  This will give students their
MEMO login ID and password.

Further information about the MEMO email system is available at

We hope this information is helpful to you. You or your students can call the ITU Support
Center at 993-8870 if you need assistance in setting up or configuring your MEMO acccount.
