TAMU Gmail - Forwarding to Exchange

Overview

If you use an Exchange email account as your primary email, you can configure your Texas A&M Gmail to forward to that account. This document will provide step by step instructions for configuring email forwarding on Texas A&M Gmail.

Exercise caution when forwarding any Texas A&M Email address. Texas A&M University Standard Administrative Procedure 29.01.03.M0.07, Information Resources - Enterprise Email Services, paragraph 4.3 states, "Private email accounts shall not be used for conducting university business." Forwarding your Texas A&M Email to a non- TAMU email account may run afoul of this rule.
