The SU email policy requires that all official University email communications be sent to your @syr.edu email address. 

Warning
titleForward At Your Own Risk

If you choose to re-direct your

...

@syr.edu email to another account, such as

...

@gmail.com or

...

@yahoo.com, you do so at your own risk

...

. Third party email providers will often see that the messages are not coming from the originally intended account and security practices may result in failure to deliver said mail without notice. It is recommended that you access your Syracuse University email via your SUMail account whenever possible. Support for these issues will be limited to a "best effort" practice.

It is strongly recommended to enable the "Keep a copy of forwarded messages" option. This way if a forwarded email is rejected by your email service, a copy will be retained  in your SUmail account.
