Automatic email forwarding is disabled to external email addresses or other Deakin email accounts. Even if forwarding is technically enabled in your settings, emails will not be delivered.

For more information, please refer to SECTION 5 - PROCEDURE, Email (12) and (13) of the Deakin Email Policy.

Staff can monitor their emails using the Outlook mobile app (Android & iOS). If you do not regularly check your Deakin mailbox, consider setting up Automatic Replies instead.
