📥 Introduction
Why is my secondary email address showing in the Global Address List (GAL)?
Some users may see multiple email addresses listed in the Global Address List (GAL)—for example, if they are both a student and an employee within the Minnesota State system (e.g., student workers or graduate assistants).
Note:
The GAL is managed by the Minnesota State system office, and email addresses cannot be hidden or removed from it.
🛠️ What You Can Do
If you want to avoid receiving messages in a secondary mailbox that you don’t check often, you have two options to help manage incoming mail:
Option 1: Set an Out-of-Office Automatic Reply
Let senders know that the mailbox is not actively monitored.
Option 2: Forward All Emails to Another Account
Automatically redirect messages to your preferred mailbox.
You can use either option individually or combine both for better coverage.
