Lifetime forwarding e-mail is not an e-mail account as it does not store messages for your review and reply. Rather, it forwards mail sent to your permanent (lifetime) alumni e-mail address to your current personal e-mail account. If your user ID with Boston College’s alumni community is “smith” and you have a personal e-mail account with America Online listed as smith@aol.com then: smith@bc.edu (lifetime forwarding e-mail address) forwards mail to smith@aol.com (personal e-mail account).
