If you choose to forward your UW email account to another account, mail sent to the account may be caught by the "Junk Mail" filter. UW C&C recommends that you don't forward it. If you do, make sure that you add the UW domain (u.washington.edu) to the alternative account's list of approved addresses. I use email software (Entourage for the Mac; Outlook is the standard software for PCs) that enables me to place all of my accounts in plain view so that I can easily check each one to see if I've received new mail.

Also, we have just been informed that mail coming from Blackboard (which I often use to provide feedback) may be filtered as well. The solution is the same.

Finally, do not use the AOL browser to view Blackboard. There are major compatibility issues. If you are on AOL, open up your account and then open an alternative browser like Internet Explore or Firefox to view it.
