Email forwarding is a function which allows you to resend an email in its original
form from one address to another. It may also be used as a way to forward an email
to a different destination. You can take it one step higher and create a specific
email and route all the emails to that email address.

Outlook allows you to automatically forward or redirect your email messages by
setting up Inbox rules in Outlook. This comes in handy if you want to read and
respond to messages from another email account while you are away, or if you
want someone else to receive and respond to your emails while you are away.
- To set up automatic forwarding, you must head to Settings > View all
Outlook settings.
- Select Mail > Forwarding. Then select Start forwarding, enter the email
address to which you will be forwarding messages and click Save.
