The "Push" Method* |
|
You can configure your official e-mail account to forward messages to individual accounts at your school or district. E-mail that reaches the official account will be auto-forwarded to your e-mail at work, “"pushing"” e-mail to your mailbox. OPI is not responsible for misdirected or lost e-mail auto-forwarded from the Official e-mail accounts. * This is the least reliable method for several reasons:
If you use this method, it is your district's responsibility to make sure that your “auto-forward” addresses are correct and your e-mail servers are functional.
