Forwarding mail from University email accounts to your HYMS account

The library staff at the Universities of York and Hull will normally use the university email accounts you are given as a member of HYMS to communicate with you on issues such as the availability of inter library loans, when you can pick up items you have requested and when items you have on loan are due. Therefore it is important, if you do not regularly check your university email accounts, to forward emails to your HYMS email account.

To forward emails from University of Hull email accounts, go to http://www2.hull.ac.uk/acs/ict/university_email/email_faqs.aspx for more information.
