Email Forwarding Options

Emails generated in eLC can be forwarded to another email account. It is important to note that users can not respond to emails from their UGA email address. Emails generated in eLC can only be responded to through eLC's email function. 

1. To forward your emails from eLC to another email address, open Settings in the right-hand corner of the email function.

Choose whether you would like your emails marked read or unread in your eLC Inbox Folder. It is recommended that you not delete forwarded emails automatically. Click on Save.
