Problem

Forward emails from your Gustavus account to a personal email account to prepare for the transition from your Gustavus email.  

Environment

The article applies to Gustavus students.

Resolution

This method will send selected messages as attachments in one new email:

1. Open Gmail.
2. Click Compose.
3. Drag the messages that you want to attach to the new message window. We recommend sending 10 messages at a time so that minimal time is lost if the transfer fails.
4. Enter your new email address, subject, and any message text.
5. Click Send.

This method will send selected messages to your new email as individual messages:

1. Open Gmail.
2. Open the message you want to forward to your new email.
3. At the top, click More (three dots in the top right corner).
4. Select Forward.
5. Enter your new email address, subject, and any message text.
6. Click Send.

Cause

Students who graduate or withdraw from Gustavus will lose access to their Gustavus email address and associated data and College resources.  To view the full Student Account Retention Policy, please see: https://gustavus.edu/gts/policy/studentaccount.php  When you lose access to your Gustavus email account, you will no longer have access to any messages in that account.  Prepare for the transition by forwarding any important messages to a personal email account.
