CITES Express Email Web Interface: How to Share All of Your Email Messages while out of the Office

This web page is part of an online tutorial series about the CITES Express Email web interface. This tutorial is part of a larger tutorial about Sharing Your Email.

The following steps will allow you to share all of your incoming email with your designated reader--the person who will be reading your email while you are out.

1. Log in to the CITES Express Email web interface if you have not already done so.

3. Click on the Forwarding button at the top of the web page.

4. Enter your designated reader's email address into the Forward to field.

6. Check the box next to Keep a copy of each forwarded message so that you retain a copy of the messages forwarded to your designated reader.

7. Click the Start button to activate forwarding.

8. After you have set up forwarding, you should test it. Send an email to your email address, and then contact your designated reader. Make sure that your designated reader has received your email, and that you have a copy of that same message in your inbox—if the message is in both places, your forwarding is set up properly.

Note: After you have returned from vacation, be sure to stop the forwarding from your Express Email account to your designated reader's account. Go back to the Forwarding setting in your Account Options in the Express Email web interface, and click Stop.
