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.
