Forwarding Email from I-Mail

The college has designated the NIACC designated mail address as the official means of communication for college business for CURRENTLY REGISTERED students. Student email accounts are normally available within 24 hours after registration.

Note: If you are not currently registered for classes, you will not have an active IMail account.

TO ACCESS YOUR EMAIL THROUGH YOUR IMAIL ACCOUNT

Go to http://mail.niacc.edu:8383/

Note to AOL Users: You must use either Netscape or Internet Explorer to access your student email.

TO FIND OUT WHAT YOUR IMAIL ADDRESS IS PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

All student usernames have been created utilizing the following algorithm:

• first character of your first name case,

• first character of your middle initial,

• your entire last name,

• a unique number to differentiate duplicate names after the first three phases are calculated.

TO FIND OUT WHAT YOUR IMAIL PASSWORD IS PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

All student passwords have been changed to a new password utilizing the following algorithm:

• first character of your first name in upper case,

• first character of your last name in lower case,

• two dollar signs ($$),

• the last four digits of your Social Security Number.

HOW TO FORWARD EMAIL IN I-MAIL

Login to the account you want forwarded. You will see the following screen.

Choose "Change mail forwarding information" from the "Personal Account Options" list. You will then see this screen.

Note: If you change your e-mail account, you must go back to IMail and change the forwarding address. IMail will not automatically forward to the new account.

You can have Web Messaging automatically forward your mail to another mail account. This feature is activated when an e-mail address is present in this text box. (In other words, as long as this box is empty, mail is not forwarded.) Enter a complete mail address including the user ID and the full host name, for example, User ID@host.domain, and then press the Save button.

Note: You can forward your mail to more than one e-mail addresses by entering multiple addresses separated by commas.

To keep a copy and forward a copy, precede the forwarding address by a dot and a comma, for example, you'd enter .,User ID@host.domain to forward mail to User ID@host.domain and keep a copy in your mailbox.

Note: Imail is Java based, so your web browser must have Java enabled.
