Forward your GMail mail to your Rhodes mail box

As a student of Rhodes University, you have access to an e-mail box. This e-mail box may contain a maximum of 300 MB of e-mail. Any mail that is sent to your Rhodes mail box does not count towards your Internet quota, whereas accessing mail from GMail does. Having your GMail mail sent to your Rhodes mail box will help reduce your Internet quota usage and will benefit Rhodes students and staff as a whole.
