Forwarding Messages Using Wolfmail Filters

At the University of Nevada, Reno, we have 2 ways to forward your messages on Wolfmail. The method described below discusses using Wolfmail filters. The other method uses a ".forward" file.

The advantage of forwarding with filters is that you can filter the messages before they get forwarded. For example, you could filter out spam messages before they are forwarded.

To Set a Forward:

  1. Point your web browser (such as, Internet Explorer, Safari etc.) to wolfmail.unr.edu.
  2. Login with your Wolfmail/Twilight username (email address to left of @-sign) and password.
  3. Click the plus (+) sign next to Mail.
  4. Click Filters.
  5. In the middle of the page, under “Existing Rules,” click Forward.
  6. If you want a copy of all Wolfmail emails sent to a forwarding email address, check the box to “Keep a copy of messages in this account?” (Note: This step will have a negative effect upon your quota.)
  7. In the box labeled “Address(es) to forward to:, list all email address(es) to which you would like your Equinox email forwarded
  8. Click Save to save the forward
  9. Click Return to Rules List to return to the “Existing Rules” screen
  10. Verify that the “Forward” rule has a green check mark next to it.
    • If not, click the red “X” and it will change to a green check mark, which enables the forward

To Remove or Disable a Forward:

  1. Point your web browser (such as, Internet Explorer, Safari etc.) to wolfmail.unr.edu.
  2. Login with your Wolfmail/Twilight username (email address to left of @-sign) and password.
  3. Click the plus (+) sign next to Mail.
  4. Click Filters.
    • To temporarily disable a forward, click the green check mark next to “Forward” under “Existing Rules”. It turns into a red “X” and is disabled until you enable it again.
    • To remove the forward entirely, please follow the remaining instructions:
  5. Under “Existing Rules," click Forward.
  6. Remove any address(es) under the “Address(es) to forward to:” box.
  7. Click Save.
