Important
We do not recommend forwarding your BCIT email. Some external email providers, like Google or Yahoo, enforce strict security policies (such as DMARC – Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) that can prevent forwarded messages from being delivered.
Forwarding myBCIT email is therefore considered a best-effort service. BCIT will attempt to forward your messages, but success depends on the policies of the receiving mail provider, which may reject the forwarded messages for reasons outside BCIT’s control
If you don’t check your myBCIT email regularly or if you prefer to use another email address, you can set your myBCIT mailbox to forward all email to another address by following these steps.
Forwarding your myBCIT email
- Log in to myBCIT.
- Click on My Mail at the top-right corner.
- In your myBCIT email, click on Settings at the top-right corner.
- Under the Settings section, click on Filters.
- Under the Filters section, click on the + to add a filter.
- In the “Filter Name” box, give a name to your filter (example: Forwarding).
- Under “For incoming mail“, click on ‘all messages’.
- Under “…execute the following actions“, click on the drop-down menu and select ‘Redirect message to’. In the text-input field to the right, enter the destination email address where you want incoming emails to be forwarded.
NOTE: If you want to forward to more than 1 email address, click on the + to add another email. - Click Save.
A pop-up message will temporarily appear stating “Filter saved successfully”.
From this point on, all email sent to your myBCIT email account will automatically be forwarded to the email address you specified.
NOTE: Once you make this change, you will not see any emails in your myBCIT email inbox.
