Forwarding Your SAS Email
In addition to using the Penn Live email service, students have the option of forwarding their SAS email to an account of their choosing. For example, if you have a GMail account you would prefer to use for managing your SAS email, you can associate your SAS address with your GMail account so that all mail sent to you@sas.upenn.edu goes to you@gmail.com.Choosing an account to associate with your SAS address is an important decision and there are some things that you should know before choosing a service to manage your SAS email. Here are some points to consider:
- Ability to set your from address - we highly recommend that you choose an email provider that
allows you to set your from and reply-to addresses to be your SAS account.
You can learn more about setting your from address here.
- SPAM filtering - or we should say "over-filtering." Other than with the Penn Live email service, there is no guarantee that external mail providers will not mark legitimate mail from University contacts as SPAM. Different services have different protocols - some may put important mail mismarked as SPAM in your Junk folder, others may delete it altogether.
