This page has been updated to provide information about the new U of S Email and Calendar service. If you are looking for information relating to the old U of S Email service, it is still available.
Detailed information regarding the changeover between the old and new service is also available.
Email messages you receive at one email address may be automatically forwarded to another email address. Messages in your account prior to setting forwarding are not automatically sent to the forward to: address.
You can choose to simply forward all email to your forwarding address OR you can choose the 'Deliver and Redirect' option which will deliver incoming email both to your U of S email inbox AND to the forwarding address you have specified.
You can forward messages sent to your @mail.usask.ca e-mail address to another e-mail address by logging in to My IT Services (MITS).
- Log in to MITS with your NSID username and password.
- Click on "Forward Email" in the left menu.
- Enter the email address you want to forward your @mail.usask.ca email to. A valid Forward To: email address must contain an "@" symbol and something "." something after the @ symbol.
- Click the Set Forwarding button.
After you have set forwarding, it is advisable to send a test message to your account to confirm the forwarding is set correctly.
You can also create a rule in Outlook or Outlook Web App to redirect all or some incoming email to another email address. For more information on how to create Outlook rules, refer to Microsoft's web site:

If you wish to forward email from another email service to your U of S Email and Calendar service, you will need to consult that service for instructions on how to forward your email messages.
