E-Mail-Auto-Replies for former Employees
When you leave the university, your user account will be locked and your work e-mail address of the university will be invalid after a goodwill period of 6 weeks. You can configure an auto-reply to the mail sender that informs them about an external e-mail address by which you will be contactable in the future. This auto-reply is active for a transition period of 2 years maximum.
Constraints
- The auto-reply is only possible for e-mail addresses that are managed by the IT-Centre.
- The configured auto-reply will only become active, once your user account is locked.
- The application for configuring an auto-reply is approval-free.
- Existing auto-replies in WebMailer or Microsoft Exchange are ignored, as soon as your account is locked.
- The auto-reply is active for a maximum of two years. An extension is not possible.
- If your recorded external e-mail address did change during these two years, you should contact the IT-Support.

- Log into your personal account.
- Click on Available Applications (under Applications).
