How to Forward or Unforward my Mail

Overview

If you prefer to use an email account other than the one provided you by USI, you can forward your USI email to a functioning account that you access regularly. If you forward to a non-functioning or non-existent email account, you could potentially lose important email messages. 

Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to periodically test the forward to see that it works.
