Cumc Outlook Email
CUMC prohibits the automatic forwarding of your email to an outside provider such as Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, etc. Exchange email is the only email that can be used for ICAP business.
- Forwarding from UNI@columbia.edu is permitted for email addresses in the following domains. However, CUIT recommends that you have emails sent directly to these email addresses rather than forwarding to maximize the reliability of email delivery. For example, have your emails sent directly to Jane.Doe@barnard.edu rather forwarding from jd1234@columbia.edu.
