forwarding emails

[debbie]

Is it possible to direct only selected incoming emails to additional email
addresses but not all incoming emails?

Sure, if you can find one of the rules criteria that match the conditions of
the messages you wish to forward.

Brian-

I found where I make the rules but they appear to only allow the movement of
messages into folders not to other amail addresses. Am I missing something?

How am I supposed to know what criteria you wish to use?

Yes. The action you want is "forward it to people or distribution list",
where you insert the addresses you want by clicking the underlined "people
or distribution list".

THANK YOU!!!

I would like to do the same thing, but I want the original sender to show in
the "From" box so that the intended recipient can click on "reply" to answer
the true originator (not me). For example, a message may have been
incorrectly sent to me instead of someone with a similar name.

Is there any way to "re-direct", rather than "forward" ? Other e-mail
programs have this feature.

I don't know of any way in Outlook to do this.

When imposing rules, does it matter if Outlook is up and running?

Thanks...Cyndi

I have also set up outlook with rules. One of the guys has a laptop and a
blackberry, I have it set up so that it forwards to his blackberry so he
knows right away when he has a new message. THe only problem is that...does
Outlook have to be opened and running for it to send/receive and then forward
it out? Also is there a better way around this?

Thanks

Hi,
I've set up a "rule" to automatically fwd incoming emails to my Outlook to a
web-based email account (such as Hotmail or Gmail). However, i have clicked
on the Rule and it should be working but I am not receiving emails at the
web-based account. I tried to manual fwd and that worked, so the email
address has been properly inputed.
How long of a lag is there before emails are fwded from Outlook to other
accts?
Thx.

Gene,

I have had the same problem. I can forward emails to other email address on
our local server, but none of the external email addresses work. Microsoft
seems to warn against doing what you and I would like, but their reasoning
doesn't make sense to me.

They write, " Caution Don't automatically forward or redirect messages
you receive to an e-mail address that is outside your organization. After the
messages leave the protection of your corporate network, they can be diverted
or intercepted by unintended recipients. In fact, many organizations regard
the automatic forwarding of messages to an external address a violation of
their policy on network and computer use."

I am still looking for a way to either forward or redirect email to an
external address. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rick

Have you thought that your IT dept has blocked access to web-based emails
and so the forwarding doesn't work? (I know for a fact that the company my
wife works for has blocked all such email)
Have you also considered the legal implication of forwarding potentially
commercially-sensitive information to an external email address? Do you have
the permissions of your organization to do this?
(I speak as a just-retired Systems Accountant...)

Thank you Gordon. I will check with our administrator and see what he can do.
If not, I found several add on programs that might do the trick. I
understand the confidentiality issue that others have mentioned, but in our
particular case that would not be an issue and we have permission from the
senders, receivers and the company. Thanks again, Rick
