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.
2. At the bottom of the settings screen you will see Forwarding Options. Check the Forward Incoming Messages box and enter the email address in the text box that you would like your emails forwarded to. 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.
Responding to Emails
Responding to eLC emails must be completed within eLC even if that email has been forwarded to a different email account. If you would like the original email included in your response, you must change the default setting.
1. To make this change, choose Settings from the Inbox.
2. Choose Include Original Message in Email Replies and Save.
3. To respond to an email, open the email and click on Reply. Add your text to the body of the email and click on Send.
