Email Forwarding

Harvard Alumni Affairs and Development offers an email forwarding service to all Harvard University alumni.

A Post.Harvard email address is an address in the format name@post.harvard.edu, which can be set to forward to a designated email address.  Alumni can create a Post.Harvard address by registering for Alumni.Harvard, then activating email forwarding. 

• A Post.Harvard address is not a stand-alone email account.  Rather, it is a service that will forward messages to a designated email address.  In order to receive messages sent to a Post.Harvard address, forwarding must be activated.
• It is not possible to retrieve messages directly from a Post.Harvard email address, either through the web or using a desktop email program.  Messages sent to a Post.Harvard address can only be retrieved through the address to which mail is being forwarded.
• Post.Harvard email addresses are separate from other Harvard email addresses, such as student addresses.  Creating a Post.Harvard email address will not allow alumni to continue receiving mail through student addresses after these addresses have expired.
