Automatic redirection to another account using rules

Using the Inbox rules, messages you have received can be automatically forwarded or redirected to another e-mail account.

NOTICE! You cannot create rules using the Light Version of Outlook Web App. You should check that it is not selected in the login window.

Automatically redirect all messages to another account

(Can't do with the Light Version of Outlook Web App)

1. After you sign in to your account, click Options, then click Organize E-Mail, and then click Inbox Rules.
2. On the Inbox Rules tab, click New.
3. Under When the message arrives, select Apply to all messages.
4. Under Do the following, select Redirect the message to.
5. Select the address you want your mail sent to by double-clicking on it in the address book view. If the address you want to redirect to doesn't appear, you can enter the e-mail address in the To field.
6. Click OK to save your selections and return to the new rule window.
7. Click Save to save your rule and return to the Inbox Rules tab.

Other things to pay attention to

Redirecting and forwarding are not the same thing.

• Messages that are redirected will appear to come from the original sender. When you reply to a message that has been redirected, the reply will be sent to the original sender.
• Messages that are forwarded will appear to be forwarded from you. When you reply to a message that has been forwarded, the reply will be sent to the address the message was forwarded from, not to the original sender.
• A copy of messages that you redirect or forward will remain in your Inbox.
