Step 2: Activate your Lifelong Email Forwarding (LEF)
Your Anderson email account will remain active until the date listed above. As soon as your Anderson email inbox is deleted on the date listed above, your Lifelong Email Forwarding (LEF) will go into effect. Lifelong Email Forwarding (LEF) ensures that you will continue to receive emails sent to your Anderson email address (@anderson.ucla.edu) after the date listed above. You can set up LEF even while you're a student.
Activate your LEF now in your Alumni Profile.

Step 3: Archive Existing Email and Email Contacts
If you were not already forwarding your Anderson email to another account while as a student, you will need to archive your email mailbox and contacts if you want to keep them. It is crucial to do this before your inbox is deleted or your will lose all of your emails. Please archive your mailbox well in advance of the due date.
Archive your email in Outlook and Mac Mail.
Don't have Outlook? The computers in the E2.14 lab and D2.12, A3.03 Business Centers have Outlook installed.
Step 4: Create your Mimecast for Alumni Account
As a student, you have access to your Mimecast Personal Portal using the Domain option. After 10/15 or 3/15, you will then log in using the Cloud option.

You will continue to receive digest emails for those that may considered as spam emails sent to your LEF address, and you can release them from your Personal Portal.
Step 5: Uninstall Educational Software
The licenses of the educational software (e.g. Treeplan, XLStat, etc.) that you were provided dictate that the software cannot continue to be used after your graduation and must be deleted from your computer. Please remove the software before the due date.
