E-mail Forwarding with OWA

Warning: It is possible to forward all incoming messages to a different remote, non-UNO e‑mail server. However, there is a risk involved in establishing such a forwarding. If many individuals forward their messages to the same remote server, that remote serve may misinterpret those incoming messages as spam and either block or delete the messages before the intended account receives the messages. Therefore, it is possible that the user may miss important messages because the messages were thought to be spam. UCC cannot be responsible for the policy or actions of remote e-mail servers.
