What follows are directions for hacking your UNO account to redirect e-mails from Blackboard and Lotus Notes to your preferred alternative e-mail address, such as a personal G-mail, Hotmail or Yahoo account. A primer on disabling that pesky spam filter - and its hunger for your most important messages - is also included.

Now let's get down to the technical details.
Updating Blackboard preferences
1. Log in at myuno.unomaha.edu to load your Blackboard profile.
2. On the left side of the screen, click "Personal Information" under "Tools" and select "Edit Personal Information" on the resulting page.
3. Change your "BB-only Email" to your preferred account and click the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. Click "OK" to confirm.
4. Click "OK" again to leave the page. Any message sent by Blackboard should now be delivered to your preferred e-mail account and not your UNO Lotus notes account.
Forwarding Lotus Notes e-mails
1. Log in at mymail.unomaha.edu - this may take a ridiculous number of attempts. If you can't log in, set this paper aside and try it again in a few minutes.
2. Once you log in, click "Full" on the bar at the very top of the window if the "Lite" mode is highlighted. If a warning message saying a script from International Business Machines Corporation might be unsafe, choose to allow the software to run.
3. On the left is a sidebar where, second from the bottom, is the option "Tools." Click on this and then select "Rules" from the sub-menu.
4. On the menu bar on the right pane of the screen, click "New" to select the "New Mail Rule" dialogue. A window will pop up.
5. Give the rule a name like "Forward Mail" and make sure the radio button called "Enabled" is selected.
6. Under "Specify conditions," select "Sender" from the first menu, "is not" from the second menu and type "nobody@nowhere.com" or another make-up e-mail address for the text box under the two menus. Click the "Add> >" button.
