Forwarding Email from Your CSU eID Account to Your Engineering Account

With your Engineering account, you now have three email address associated with CSU. You have two email addresses related to your eID/Ename account: First.Last@colostate.edu and eName@colostate.edu (undergraduate students have eName@rams.colostate.edu). And with an Engineering account, you also have username@engr.colostate.edu as your third address. (Your engineering username should be the same as your eName. If it is not, please contact ENS to have it changed.)

We recommend that you set your eName and your First.Last address to point to your Engineering account. That way you will only need to check your email in one place while you're at CSU. Please follow the instructions below on how to forward your email messages from your eName and First.Last to your Engineering account.

Change your "First.Last" email

1. http://eid.colostate.edu (will open in a new browser window)
2. Click on “Change E-mail Address ”
3. Login with your eName and ePassword
4. For Faculty and Staff
Select “Central Exchange for Calendaring Only”
5. Enter in your Engineering email address (username@engr.colostate.edu)
6. Then click the button “Change E-mail”

This will make your First.Last@colostate.edu address forward to your Engineering account. We recommend that you only give out your First.Last@colostate.edu as your email address and not your eName@engr.colostate.edu.

Change your "eID" email

1. https://eagle.colostate.edu/spam (will open in a new browser window)
2. Login with your eID and password
3. Select “Forward My Mail to Another Server”
4. Enter in your Engineering email address (eID@engr.colostate.edu)

Now your eID@colostate.edu address will be forwarded to your Engineering account.

We suggest that you then test these changes by sending an email to the First.Last and eID addresses. If you recieve these emails in your Engineering email account, you are set.

To view your Engineering email, you can use either Engineering Webmail or an installed email program such as Thunderbird. To assist you, ENS provides instructions on how to set up many popular email clients. If at all possible, we strongly suggest you do not use Microsoft Outlook for your email client because of security issues.
