How to automatically forward emails in MS Outlook – Guide
Auto-forwarding is a handy tool to ensure you don’t miss an email, wherever you are. Forwarding is usually determined by a rule configured on your primary email address, which tells the email server or your email client (e.g. Outlook) to automatically forward this email to another address. Server-level forwarding requires administrator access, but forwarding emails using the Outlook client itself is easy for any Outlook user as long as they can leave their computer running with Outlook open at all times. If you don’t have access to an email address at certain times, for example a college or work email address, you can set a rule in Outlook that automatically forwards all emails to your home email address or other address.
If you’re waiting for something important and don’t want to wait until the next day, email forwarding can help. Outlook can be configured on the client to automatically forward all emails sent to your work email account to another address. This way, you don’t have to wait until the next day to get your important messages. ..
How to automatically forward emails in MS Outlook
In Outlook, make sure you are in the Mail view. In the options bar, click “Rules” and click “Create Rule” from the drop-down menu. To create a rule in Outlook, first make sure you are in the Mail view. Under the Options Bar, click on Rules and then Create Rule from the drop-down menu. ..
The Create Rule dialog will automatically be ready to create any currently selected email, but email forwarding is not one of the action options, so click “Advanced Options…” in the lower right corner. You should see the Rules Wizard.
To use the Rules Wizard, you will need to specify two things: Which messages to act on – this is the “condition” of the rule – and what to do with the message, which in this case will be forwarding it to another email account. Start by specifying the condition. If you want to forward all emails sent to a certain email account, click the “via specified account” checkbox. Then, in the Step 2 field at the bottom of the dialog box, click “specified” and choose the email account you want to act on.
You can choose to forward emails only to me, or any of the other options. You can also choose multiple conditions, so they work together – like emails sent to a specific account that are addressed only to you. ..
When finished, click “Next”
In Step 2, you can choose to forward the email to people or public groups. In the Step 3 field, you can enter a contact name or email address for the person or group you want to forward the email to. Click “Next”.
If you want to add any exceptions, such as not forwarding any emails with certain words in the subject line, do so on this page. You can review the long list of options to see if anything applies. Click “Next”.
