Tips for Using Your UC Davis Email Account During the Summer

• If you won't be checking email over summer vacation, you can set up an automated message notifying email senders of your absence. (Messages will still be sent to your inbox.)

See http://email.ucdavis.edu/outofoffice_n.php for setup instructions.

Be aware that this notification will be sent to everyone who emails you, including those to whom you would not normally reply, like spammers and listservs. As a result, this could increase the volume of spam in your inbox.

• If you will be checking your campus email over summer, your two main options are to use Web-based email at MyUCDavis or a POP email program like Eudora, which is available for free through the UC Davis Software site.

See http://email.ucdavis.edu/outofoffice_n.php for more information.

• To forward email to another email account (like Yahoo!, Hotmail, etc.), go to http://computingaccounts.ucdavis.edu/and follow the instructions under the "Redirect your mail" option.
