Forward Alumni Email to another Email account

Forward Alumni Email to another Email account

If you already have an email account with an Internet Service Provider, and if you don't want to check more than one email account, you will probably want to set up your Vox Alumni Network account to forward your mail to your "home" email address. If you ever change email addresses, you can change your forwarding address so that email sent to your Dartmouth Alumni account will always reach you, no matter how many times you need to change email addresses.

Requirements: the Email Forwarding option can be used by any Dartmouth Alum with a working email account.

Set up Forwarding via the World Wide Web

You can establish your email forwarding address by filling out the form found at "Activate/Update Your Account". You'll be asked to provide your full name and Alumni Email password (using the secure server feature) and then enter the email address to which messages addressed to: <Your.name.class@alum.dartmouth.org> will be forwarded. The new email forwarding address is effective immediately.

Set up Forwarding via Email

You can request changes to your personal information by email, which will be processed within three business days and confirmed by return email. Send an email message to <support@helpdesk.dartmouth.org> with the following information:

Your name and class

For example:
"Jane A. Doe '81", or
"Jane A. Doe, Tuck '89"
A request to change your forwarding address, including what you'd like it changed to.

Because email is "unsecure" and to protect the security of your account, we require the following pieces of additional information for verification:

The name of your secondary school
Your major
Your Dartmouth ID number or the last four digits of your Social Security number
Your date of birth
A phone number where you can be reached if necessary

Changing to Full Access

You can change your type of service (from Email Forwarding service to Full Access service, or vice versa) online by pointing your Web browser at "Activate/Update Your Account" or by sending a message to <support@helpdesk.dartmouth.org>. Changes in type of service that are made online are effective immediately; changes that are sent by email will be processed within three business days. Changing the type of service may mean you need to reinstall and/or reconfigure the email software on your computer.

You will be asked to provide your full name and Vox Alumni Network password (using the secure server feature) and then enter your active email address. The new email forwarding address is effective immediately. This is the way to go if you wish to consolidate your messages into one account.
