  6. MyDC E-mail vs. Darton E-mail • Your MyDC e-mail inbox is not the same as your Darton (Exchange) faculty/staff e-mail inbox. • A common feature of web portals is an integrated e-mail system –each user of MyDC (faculty/staff and students) will have a MyDC e-mail account. • MyDC e-mail is not designed to be a replacement for the existing faculty/staff Exchange e-mail system. • You may decide not to use your MyDC e-mail, but users of MyDC may still send e-mail to your MyDC address. If you choose not to use MyDC or check your MyDC inbox, you should setup e-mail forwarding to your Darton e-mail inbox. • Instructions for setting up forwarding have been provided in the handout, or you can follow the instructions available under E-mail > Options > Auto Forward.
