Creating a Rule to Delete Incoming Mail

There currently is no process for removing SUmail accounts for former SU students.  Until a removal process is developed, a former student who no longer wants an SUmail account will need to set up a rule within SUmail to delete all messages, and then set an auto-reply message to let the sender know the account is no longer being used.

Set up a rule to delete all messages.

1. Log into SUmail by going to http://sumail.syr.edu,click the Continue button, and log in with your entire SU e-mail address and NetID password
   1. If you do not remember your password go to https://selfserv.syr.edu/accounts/pwdForgot.asp to reset your password, or call 315-443-2677.
2. Click the Gear Icon on the top right corner of the browser.
   
   
   
3. Scroll down and click 'Mail'.
   
   
   
4. Click 'Inbox and Sweep Rules'

7. In the "Do the following:" field select "Delete the message"
   
   
   
8. Click 'OK'
   

Set up an Autoreply

2. Click the "Send automatic replies" option

This account is no longer used, and the person you are trying to contact can no longer me reached with this address)
