Email Delivery Point and Forwarding Your Email

Summary: A delivery point is where your "@uci.edu" email is sent. If you want your OIT MailBox email sent to a different address, you can change your delivery point.

Faculty, Staff and Sponsored UCInetIDs: when you activate your UCInetID, your delivery point is NOT set.
Student UCInetIDs: delivery points are set to OIT MailBox Services.

The choice of where you want your UCI email delivered is yours. You may choose to have your email delivered to:

OIT MailBox Services
Your local department email server.
An off campus email address.

Setting your delivery point

Decide where you want your "@UCI.EDU" email delivered.
Employees, may want to check with their Computer Support Coordinators.
If you are using a server other than OIT MailBox Services, find out the full server address and write it down. For example, samuel.omeone@gmail.com
Go to PhUpdate at: http://www.uci.edu/cgi-bin/phupdate
Login with your UCInetID and password. (Figure 1)
Activate your UCInetID if you have not done so.
