E-Mail Alias & E-Mail Forwarding
Getting the most out of your e-mail address
Your Uni-ID is too cryptic for you or you want to redirect emails of a functional Uni-Id to our ticket system, for exmple? Then you are in the right place to learn more about setting up your mail aliases or your mail forwarding to uni-internal addresses.
E-Mail Alias
Create a second e-mail address (a so-called e-mail alias, e.g., [Email protection active, please enable JavaScript.]) via the Identity Management GOsa² and only give this e-mail address out to others. That way you can change the e-mail address in case your name changes.
E-Mail Forwarding to uni-internal addresses
You have the option of setting up e-mail forwarding via Identity Management GOsa2 to uni-interal addresses. E-mails to your [Email protection active, please enable JavaScript.] and to any e-mail aliases set up will be sent ot the e-mail forwarding address from the time of setup.
