Forward your @mymail to your @aacc.edu Account

Generally, mail forwards are a security risk and violates AACC's Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources Procedure.  However, employees may elect to forward their student email account to their employee account. 

1. Sign into your @mymail account (see article).

2. Select the Settings gear and type Forwarding into the search box.

3. Enter your @aacc email address into the Forward my email to box and select Save. 

 

If the @mymail.aacc.edu account opens after entering the @aacc.edu address, then you are probably already signed into another online service that uses your student account for authentication.  Sign out of the @mymail.aacc.edu account and try again, OR use a completely different browser. In addition, you may need to clear your browser's cache. This can be done in most browsers by navigating to "settings" > "privacy and security" >"clear browsing data/history". "Cookies and other site data" is the "cache" that needs to be cleared.  Some browsers may require they be closed and reopened to "reset" them after clearing the cache. Clearing cache.
