Email Forwarding Ends on Dec. 31

As we have communicated to students since the beginning of this semester, Ohio State email accounts will no longer be forwarded to outside email services after Dec. 31, 2024.  

Students can continue to access any emails sent to name.#@osu.edu and name.#@buckeyemail.osu.edu accounts by logging into BuckeyeMail. If you have been forwarding your BuckeyeMail account to an email address outside of Ohio State, that forwarding will end on Dec. 31, 2024.  

As third-party service providers such as Gmail, Spectrum, Yahoo, Apple, and others have tightened email security controls, many forwarded email messages are not being received. Because the forwarded email appears as spam to third party providers’ security controls, we have seen an increasing number of deliverability issues.  

This is part of a larger project to ensure service quality and fiscal stewardship as cost changes impacts our services. In addition to this message, we have posted information online to give you an overview of email updates.  

Stay informed and plan ahead!
