That is why studIT does not support this kind of forwarding!

-==== Deleting e-mails ====
+====== Deleting e-mails ======
+First of all, please delete the redirect from your student e-mail address to another e-mail address. For doing so, open the **Internet Explorer** (it will not work with a different webbrowser!), go to http://webmail.uni-goettingen.de/ and log in. At the bottom of the page on the left-hand side in the menu click on "Regeln". After that, delete the redirect by clicking on the button with the black X. Do not forget to save your changes.
+==== Deleting e-mails via Thunderbird ====
 All users are personally responsible for deleting their own e-mails. GWDG or studIT do not have direct access to personal mailboxes.
-For deleting your e-mails it is most comfortable if you downloaded all mails with [[en:support:email:outlook|Outlook]], [[en:support:email:thunderbird|Thunderbird]] or [[en:support:email:apple_mail|Apple Mail]]. If you log into on one of our public Linux computers with your student account (for example on the first floor of the "Blauer Turm" or on the ground floor of the Göttingen State and University Library SUB), you can use Thunderbird which is already pre-configured for your e-mail account. The only thing you have to do is to open the program and wait a moment until all mails are being downloaded. After that you can delete them altogether.

The only thing you have to do is to open the program and wait a moment until all mails are being downloaded. After that select the e-mails which you want to delete (they normally have "Mailer-Daemon" as subject) and press **Shift+Entf* to delete the mails without putting them into the trash bin first. Then right click on your inbox and choose "Komprimieren". Then everything should be back to normal.
+Please also check your trash in Thunderbird and empty it as well.
-Please also have a look at the recycle bin of your mailbox to delete all mails there separately (empty trash)
+If you are not able to solve this problem on your own, just come to one of our [[en:support:studit_support:kontakt|locations]]. There one of our studIT advisors will be pleased to help you!
