The LSE alumni email address is a free forwarding service
available to all LSE alumni who have signed up to Houghton
Street Online.
It allows you to
maintain a permanent email forwarding address associated
with LSE, gives you an easy way to keep in touch with
friends and colleagues following graduation and during your
working life - without having to constantly update your
contacts whenever your email address changes.
How email
forwarding works
Any email sent to your LSE alumni email address will be
forwarded to a destination email address you specify, for
example your personal Hotmail account or your work account –
this destination email address can be changed whenever you
like.
How to get
started
1) select your LSE alumni email (e.g. a.n.other@alumni.lse.ac.uk)
2) choose your main email account (e.g. another@gmail.com)
to which you would like messages to be forwarded
3) distribute your LSE alumni email
4) check your main email account for messages
Once you’ve signed
up to Houghton Street Online, please
click this link to log in to the site and be guided through the process.
Please allow for 24
hours from time of registration for the email forwarding to
be operational.
Important note:
your LSE alumni email forwarding address is not an email
account service and as such you will not be able to send or
otherwise store email with this service. You should continue
to send and store emails using your personal email account.
Sending messages
as if from your LSE email forwarding address
Many email accounts may allow you to spoof the "from"
address so that it appears emails sent from your personal
account originate from your LSE address.
Some information on
how to set this up within Microsoft Outlook Express,
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Mail, Pegasus Mail and
Eudora is available in the Email forwarding section.
Information on some
of the more popular web-based email accounts is available as
follows:
Gmail and Googlemail
| Hotmail
|
Yahoo
|
However, please note
we are not able to offer any personalized technical support
for this service, as it relates to your own email account
rather than the LSE address. |
