How do I forward my NMIT student email to a personal email account?

Learn how to forward your NMIT student email to a personal email account while keeping a copy of your messages.

Your NMIT student email account is part of Microsoft 365 and includes:

  • A 50 GB mailbox
  • Calendar and Contacts
  • Spam protection

Your NMIT email address is in the format:
firstname-lastname@live.nmit.ac.nz

For example:
joe-bloggs@live.nmit.ac.nz

Although you can forward your emails to a personal email account, we strongly recommend that you continue to check your NMIT mailbox regularly. Important notices, including emergency communications, may be sent to your student email account.

Set up email forwarding:

  1. Sign in to your NMIT Outlook mailbox.
  2. Select the Settings (⚙️) icon in the top-right corner.
  3. In the left-hand menu, select Mail > Forwarding.

     
  4. Select Enable forwarding.

      
  5. Enter your personal email address.
  6. Select Keep a copy of forwarded messages.
  7. Select Save.

After saving your changes, new emails sent to your NMIT email address will be forwarded to your personal email account, while a copy remains in your NMIT mailbox. 

If you want to stop this, unselect Enable Forwarding and Save.

Important: Email forwarding is not guaranteed to deliver every message successfully. To avoid missing important information, including time-sensitive or emergency communications, check your NMIT Microsoft 365 mailbox regularly.
