Forward

If you do not regularly read emails in your ETH mailbox, we strongly recommend to set a mail forward to a mail address you actually read. This applies particularly to guests and D-INFK members who get to keep their ETH account.

You can activate the forwarding of email at https://password.ethz.ch » meine Services » Mailbox. You may need to wait a few hours for this to take effect.

Permanent Forward when leaving ETH

Former D-INFK members (Professors and Doctoral students) can request to convert the email forward to a contact (permanent forward without mailbox), after they leave ETH and their mailbox is deleted.

In this case, when the mail account will expire (no mailbox, no mail reading or sending), new emails to your ETH email address will still be redirected to the external email address.

If you need access to your old ETH emails, you would need to export them before the expiration, while you still have access to your ETH mailbox. Only @inf.ethz.ch addresses can be forwarded, not technical addresses (@ethz.ch).

Please contact our service desk if you need this.
