You cannot set up a forwarding to a private e-mail address. For technical and legal reasons, this is not possible. However, you can set up a forwarding to another Uni-Bonn mail. You can configure this on gosa.gosa.uni-bonn.de under the tab "Mail".
Former members of the University of Bonn may keep a Uni Bonn email address as a forwarding to their private email address. However, for legal reasons, this does not give them access to the University of Bonn's email service, but only forwards incoming emails.
For this service, you must become a member of the Alumni Network or the University Society.
