May students “pop” their MyMail e-mails to other e-mail systems?
[POP is the term used to refer to using the Post Office Protocol to call an e-mail from another e-mail system.] Yes, students may POP their MyMail into another third party e-mail system. However, you are responsible for reading all e-mail sent to you from official ISU offices. ISU is not responsible for failures of third party systems or you in accessing ISU-sent e-mail popped into another account. You are responsible for setting up this arrangement with other providers. You must ask the third party provider for technical support; do not call the OIT Help Desk. If you choose to POP your MyMail to another account, you should choose the “delete from server” option so your MyMail account does not retain a copy of your e-mails. See the “quota” FAQ. ISU may need to change e-mail systems or upgrade current ones that may not support POP. Announcements will be made about this, but you are responsible for making arrangements to restore your MyMail account. MyMail also has an auto-forward option
