Bounce all the messages you wish to save from your Barnard to your replacement email

In order to save email messages from your Barnard account, you will need to forward them to your replacement email by "bouncing" them or by using an email client to save old emails onto your computer's hard drive. (For more information on email clients, see this page: Email Info.)

  1. To bounce emails from your Barnard account to your replacement email account, you will need to login to Pine using SSH either through PuTTY (PCs) or through Terminal (Macs).
  2. Once in Pine, open your inbox by pressing the "I" key, and then press ONLY the semi-colon key (do NOT hold down shift), which stands for "Select."
  3. You will then see a command line reading "Select Criteria." In order to select all your messages, press "A." You can tell a message is selected when it has an "X" next to it, like this:
  4. You will need to press the "A" key one more time to bounce all of the messages. Then press the "B" key in order to generate the command line "BOUNCE (redirect) message to:".
  5. Type in your replacement email address. Then press enter.
  6. When asked to send messages to your replacement email, hit "Y" for yes.

Congratulations on successfully completing your email transition process! (It may take a few minutes for all of your emails to arrive in your new account.)
