How can I setup a forward of all my @student.ethz.ch emails to my private mailbox?

Each student at ETH gets an email address following the schema USERNAME@student.ethz.ch where USERNAME is your actual login name. Most of the emails regarding your study at ETH are going to be sent to that email address.

You can now either read your emails with your favorite email client program, your mobile device or by web access on https://mail.ethz.ch.

Another possibility is to forward each email to your private email account (like GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo and so on).

An email forwarding can be setup like this:

  1. Login to https://password.ethz.ch with your HTH account credentials
  2. Go to menu Self Service | Manage Forward
  3. In the Recipient field enter the email address of your private email account
  4. Optionally you could enable the option Save and forward mails that enables the function to store each email in your ETH mailbox and forwards it to your external email address you have entered in the Recipient field.
  5. Click button Save
  6. Click Logout
