==E-mail forwarding==
 
We encourage alumni to forward their e-mail.  When you turn '''E-mail forwarding on''', this allows for your account to continue receiving e-mails even after the 1 year period of your account activity.  It might be the answer if you do not want to keep your 鶹Ƶ e-mail account, but do want to receive any e-mails that are sent to it.  E-mail forwarding will forward the e-mails to another e-mail address of your choosing.  This option can be activated or adjusted in [/account/?pr=email&pr2=forwarding your account settings].  There is no charge for e-mail forwarding and will last as long as you wish.
 
 
 
==Zip file of Home Directory==
 
Many people want to keep copies of their [[home directory]], but forget to do it before their accounts are deactivated.  The Classes of 2005-2014 have the option of downloading a copy of their home directory in [[zip]] format. There is no charge for this option. This option does not become available until after your e-mail account is closed/alumnified. This option is available on the [https://gts.gac.edu/gts/tools/ Alumni 鶹Ƶ User Settings Page]. You will still be able to log into this web page with your 鶹Ƶ e-mail username and your e-mail password.
 
 
 
Once downloaded you will need to unzip the file and navigate to the files from your home directory.  After unzipped, the directory structure will look something like this:
 
username\Net.real\gac\home\first letter of first name\first letter of last name\usersname.
 
 
 
The contents of your e-mail are in the Maildir directory.  Viewing these messages is a little challenging.  If you are using [[Thunderbird]], you can download and install an Add-on that will allow you to import the messages from these directories.  Please see: Using ImportExportTools3.1 to view Maildir messages.
 
 
 
==E-mail access continued==
 
The Classes of 2005-2013 are being offered the option of continued use of their 鶹Ƶ e-mail account. This option is available for $25.  This option can be activated by visiting the [https://gts.gac.edu/gts/tools/ Alumni 鶹Ƶ User Settings Page]. This would extend e-mail access for 2013 graduates until the summer of 2015.
 
 
 
===I'm a 2010 graduate and I paid for continued e-mail access until September 2012, can I keep my email longer than that?===
 
Yes, you can extend your account for another year by paying an additional $25 dollars.
 
 
 
 
 
===How can I get this .zip file if I do not have high speed internet? Can you send me a DVD of this file?===
 
Yes, we can send you a DVD with the contents of your [[Home Directory]] with proper identification and mailing address. Please contact the [[Technology Helpline]].
