It is very important to have an activated UI email address. However, not everyone wants to keep track of multiple email addresses and/or log into their UI mailbox each day. It is possible to forward all emails received by your UI email address to a different address, such as Gmail.
The easiest way to do this, is in the browser, and we recommend you set everything up there even if you generally use Outlook on your computer or phone. This is how you set up email forwarding:
1) Open your browser and go to outlook.hi.is
2) Click on the gear wheel in the top right corner, followed by "View all Outlook settings" at the bottom:
