-====== University GMail Accounts ====== 
  
-====Common Questions==== 
-**What is this switch?** 
-Until November 16, 2011, the University has maintained its own e-mail servers. To access the @umn.edu e-mail account, University members used GopherMail. The University Office of Information Technology then signed a contract where Google manages our e-mail servers. 
- 
-**How does this affect you?** 
-If you do not use your @umn.edu account, instead using your @physics.umn.edu account (or @astro.umn.edu), you will have to re-enable forwarding. Once this is done, there will be no differences between your current mail solution and the new Google mail. 
- 
-**Does my e-mail address change?** 
-No. If your e-mail account was JohnDoe@umn.edu while the University was using GopherMail, it will stay JohnDoe@umn.edu when you move to Google. 
- 
-**To which Google products do I have access?** 
-For that information, see [[http://www.oit.umn.edu/google/questions-answers/index.htm|the University's FAQ on Google Apps at the University]] 
- 
-====Setting up Forwarding==== 
-1. [[http://www.oit.umn.edu/google/transitioning-gmail/index.htm|Prepare your umn account for forwarding.]] 
-2. [[http://www.oit.umn.edu/google/getting-started/index.htm|Follow the directions in 'Signing Up for Google Apps']]. If you do not this, it will be done automatically for all eligible people at the University! 
-3. Log in to your new University Gmail account: http://mail.umn.edu 
-4. Click the spoke icon at top-right of the page. A menu will appear, select "Mail Settings" 
-5. Select the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab 
-6. Click the "Add a Forwarding Address" button 
-7. Enter your physics (or astro) email address and click "ok" 
-8. Your SPA email account will get an e-mail from Google about forwarding. Open your forwarding email account, and find the confirmation message from the Gmail team. 
-9. Click the verification link in that email. 
-10. Back in your Gmail account in the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab, select the 'Forward a copy of incoming mail to...' option and select your forwarding address from the drop-down menu. 
-11. Select the action you'd like your messages to take from the drop-down menu. You can choose to keep Gmail's copy of the message in your inbox, or you can send it automatically to All Mail or Trash. 
-12. Click Save Changes.
