Forwarding incoming messages to your University voicemail to an email address

You can forward your voicemail messages (without transcription) to an email address, whether it's another Northwestern Exchange account, or an external Gmail or Yahoo account. The original voicemail message with transcription will also be delivered to your Exchange Inbox and will remain there. Note that the original voicemail message will continue to count against your Cisco Unity voicemail quota until it is deleted.

Start by logging in to https://myvoicemail.northwestern.edu with your NetID and NetID password. Please note the following regarding browser usage:

• Windows
  • Chrome, Firefox, and Edge are fully supported.
  • There are display issues using Internet Explorer that make it incompatible with Cisco Unity.
• macOS
  • Chrome and Firefox are fully supported.
  • Although many functions can be performed using Safari, it cannot be used to play voicemail messages, or to record greetings and names. For this reason we recommend using Chrome or Firefox for all your voicemail functionality.
