> They considered offering from both Google and Microsoft, but eventually decided against both in lieu of the new forwarding option.
UCF recently had to make this decision and went with Microsoft. And now our students do not have an option of forwarding those messages to an address of their choice.
Sure you do. Microsoft's offering provides a trimmed down Exchange with Outlook Web Access. Simply login to OWA and can create a rule to forward all messages.
I've been looking around at the school's interface and at the Windows Live account area and I haven't found anything yet. If https://owa.msoutlookonline.net/Login.aspx is the OWA you are talking about, then I can't log in to that.
I remember someone saying that forwarding was turned off so that people would have to use the web interface. I don't know why they would even make than an option.
