Redirect or Forward Your HWS E-mail

Setting Automatic Email to Forwarding

Forwarding or re-directing messages from HWS email to another email is recommended only if you are leaving. Redirecting emails will route the messages as if they came directly from the original sender's email address. Forwarding emails arrive as if the original email came from your @hws.edu email, but you will not be able to reply to the original sender.
