We do not recommend doing this. Fall and Spring Session Students are required to have ScarletMail accounts so that they can receive official messages from Rutgers. We cannot guarantee delivery of official Rutgers email to non-Rutgers accounts.

The recommended way of forwarding to an external account is using the auto forward feature built into Gmail. Follow Google's guide on how to automatically forward Gmail messages to another account. It is highly recommended that during the setup process you select to keep a copy of the email on ScarletMail. You may prefer to read the copies on the external account, but if a message fails to be delivered there, this will allow you to be able to find the copy on the ScarletMail account. 

Please make sure to log into your ScarletMail account every so often to delete any unneeded duplicate messages.
