E-mail Forwarding for Life is an e-mail delivery service provided by Georgia Tech. This service allows eligible users to keep their Georgia Tech e-mail address (something@gatech.edu) after they have left Georgia Tech. You will not be provided with a Georgia Tech mailbox nor a web interface to send and recieve e-mail. Your Georgia Tech email address will simply be an email address that delivers email to a valid third party, personal, e-mail address.
To change the name or forwarding address for a "@gatech.edu" email address, use PassPort. You will be able to access Passport with your original GT username and password.
Next, in order for you to deliver email to your personal email address, you would need to login to: http://passport.gatech.edu
1. Once you are logged in, click on the "Email Address" link on the left hand side, under the "Email" section.

3. Click "Set Email Preferences".
4. A verification email will be sent to this new address. Please click the link in that email to finalize the change.
