WhoIAm is the tool to manage email routing for individuals

Help someone see and change where they route their email, or which Cornell email service they use.

IT Support Providers (or any CU person, including students? to test!): See where email goes for any NetID

Two main ways to found out where a NetID gets its email forwarded:

  • Ask the TSP Service Desk. Email is best.
  • Look it up yourself. 3 options Oliver has found, so far.
    • The easiest if in the office is via your Windows Quest software client.
    • The easiest if not at your computer is via the Web AD (Quest) tool.
    • Alternatively: Install an LDAP client and find it out that way.

Info from CIT's ID Management

Per ID Management's Jerry Shipman (Wednesday, October 12, 2016 4:13 PM):

if cornellEduMailDelivery contains "exchange", mail is going to the exchange mailbox.

...

if cornellEduMailDelivery contains "maildelivery", then mail is forwarding to the external address(es) listed in a comma-delimited list in mailRoutingAddress

Jerry,

This does seem like a much better "fit" to my needs. I just tried it in Windows and my tests got me what I needed, using your search parameters to guide me towards what to try in the tool I tried. I'm sure what I did can be made more elegant, but it does work. (smile)

I'm not sure, but it might be that the information you're looking for is mostly available publicly in the directory.

(...) 

Is this all the information you are looking for?

I have also seen guys make ldap calls from coldfusion webpages or what have you. (...)
