I want my Outlook email to forward a copy of every email I get to my another account outside my office. I generated a contact name with my email iformation. I then Created a rule to forward email to that contact but it is not working. Any thoughts? Thanks
If you are not running on an Exchange Server then the rule will only work when Outlook client with the rule is up and running.
Sorry I should have been more specific. Exchange 2K all SPs Outlook 2002 I'm connected to the server via WAN link and I download all my email to a PST file on my local computer.

Have you tried redirecting or forwarding e-mail from the ADS user profile (alternate e-mail address)? We are testing that solution as of this writing.

Remember that default since Exchange 2000 is to forbit automatic forwards to external domains. To allow automatic forwards or replies, use Exange System Manager, expand Global Settings, Internet Message Formats. Create a new SMTP domain (better than modifying default domain '*') corresponding to the SMTP namespace of your external account (yes, this will allow anyone to set up automatic forwards to e-mail addresses in this namespace...). In the advanced tab, make sure "Allow automatic forwards" is checked. Another option would be to create an hidden mail-enabled contact in Active Directory for your personal e-mail address and in your mailbox properties, check "Forward all received e-mails to...", browse for your contact and make sure "Send a copy to original recipient" is checked. Hope this helps, Ben.

Hi...I'm trying to do the exact same thing...have all my incoming outlook emails forwarded to another email address, while keeping the original in my outlook. I'm not an IT guy, though...Is this doable at the user level, or do I need help from my IT dept? Thanks!

OK. This is very simple to do. If you have Outlook and no Exchange you set up an Outlook Rule or Out of Office Rule, but it will only work when that copy of Outlook is up and running. If you have an Exchange Server and Outlook you still need to set up an Outlook Rule or Out of Office Rule for that Mailbox. It will work whether Outlook is open after that or not as long as the Exchange Server is up and running. You will also need to confirm that your Exchange server is set up to allow replies to the Internet. Open Exchange System Manager. Double-click Global Settings, and then click Internet Message Formats. In the Details pane, right-click a domain name, and then click Properties. The default SMTP domain is "*". In the Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then click to select the type of Internet responses you would like to allow. Stop the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Microsoft Exchange Routing Engine services, and then restart them. That's it. You are ready to go. Good luck, Rex Poland
