How to Forward Your @umontana.edu Address

All bills from the University are sent to your student email account (firstname.lastname@umontana.edu). If you find this account hard to log on to, then you might want to consider setting it up to forward to an account you check regularly, such as Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, or Gmail. You only need to do this once, and from then on any e-mail sent to your university account will be forwarded to the other account.
