Email forwarding

You can set up your uMail account so that emails are forwarded to your own email address. 

Note that certain conditions apply: 

• You are responsible for correctly setting up the forwarding of your uMail. Make sure you enter your forwarding address accurately.   
• If your uMail inbox or personal inbox is full, emails will not be forwarded. Make sure you always have space in both inboxes.
• Leiden University maintains the right to cancel a mail-forward if this leads to problems in the university email system. 
• Leiden University is responsible for forwarding emails, but is not responsible for the receipt of emails by the email address provided. 

If you have set up email forwarding, you can still send emails from your uMail account.
