23 Using Gmail instead of Outlook

Staff members have both an outlook and a gmail account (outlook is default). To set up the gmail, log into outlook.office.com with the netID@email.arizona.edu and search for the forwarding setup. Your forwarding address is netID@catmail.arizona.edu. Then, go to catmail.arizona.edu and sign in. University emails sent to netID@arizona.edu (outlook) should now be forwarded to netID@email.arizona.edu (gmail).

Enable Google Services

In order to enable Google services on your account, we will need to enable G-Suite on your account.

To enable G-Suite, you will need to sign in at https://account.arizona.edu with your NetID and password.

Then, click on “Manage your Accounts” on the left-hand side of the page. You should now be on a page with “Existing Accounts” and “Available Accounts”.

Under “Available Accounts” should be “UA Google Apps for Education”. You will need to click that tile to enable G-Suite.

After that, Google services should be available for you and we can set up forwarding.

You may already have Google Services enabled. If so you should see a large green banner that says: “Your Google Apps account is enabled. You’re all set!”

Set up forwarding from Outlook

Go to https://outlook.office.com. Then, sign in with your university email.

Once at your inbox, click the gear icon in the top righthand corner of the page, which should bring up “Settings”. In the searchbar, search for “Forwarding”, then click on “Forwarding”.

Select “Enable forwarding”, and in the box under “Forward my email to”, put in your NetID, and then “@uits.arizona.edu”.

Make sure to check the box next to “Keep a copy of forwarded messages”, which will keep a copy of each message in your Outlook inbox, in case something goes wrong during forwarding.

Click “Save”, and your forwarding will be set up!

All future emails will then be sent to your UA Gmail inbox.

You can then sign into your Gmail account at https://mail.google.com (Or https://catmail.arizona.edu - but this sometimes doesn’t work.)
