Many students, enrolling in classes at Independence Community College (ICC) are frustrated when they learn they can't use their existing Hotmail or Yahoo email accounts as their email address of choice in the ICC system. This has to do with Hotmail and Yahoo not liking the way ICC sends email to large groups of students at once.
The alternative offered by the ICC system is to create an ICC email account, but users have no way to set up email forwarding for their ICC email accounts. Many have trouble remembering to check their ICC email accounts and instructors are frustrated when they send notices to students and receive no responses.
Here are the steps for a backdoor solution that forwards email from the ICC system to a student's incompatible Hotmail or Yahoo account.
1. Create a free Google gmail account.
2. In the settings for your new gmail account, set up email forwarding to your Hotmail or Yahoo email address.
3. Use your new Gmail address in your ICC computer account.
When ICC sends email through it's system to your gmail account, gmail will forward to your Hotmail or Yahoo account.
