Forwarding Gmail to your UA Account
When you publish your website, we ask for your Gmail address so that you can have access to your site’s analytics. This specifically requires a Gmail address because Analytics is a Google product.
If you don’t have a Gmail address, it’s easy enough to create one specifically for this purpose. But who wants to have yet another email account to check? You’ve got enough on your plate. Luckily, there’s a way to take any mail sent to this new account and forward it to an account you use more often (like your @ua.edu address).
When you’re logged into your new Gmail account, look for the gear-shaped icon in the upper right; click that and then click “Settings.” You’ll see different headings along the top of the Settings page – look for “Forwarding and POP/IMAP.” Forwarding is the first option on this page, and all you need to do is click “Add a forwarding address” and type in the address you want to use.
You’ll then click a button to confirm the forwarding address, and a confirmation code will be sent there. Either enter this code in the Forwarding section of your Gmail settings, or simply click the link that is included in the message.
And that’s all there is to it – any messages sent to your new Gmail account will now be forwarded to the account of your choice.
