Academic computing

When we used pine email we could easily set it up to send a
copy of ALL emails received to another address
automatically. For the life of me I cannot figure out how
to do this in Outlook.

For more explanation - our students are assigned email
addresses like [email protected]. Many would rather
use their yahoo or hotmail account. They want ALL of their
mail sent on to the other account.
What directions do I give to them to make that happen?
Thanks so much

Outlook is a client, not a mail server. You'd need to set this up on your
server, if you've really decided that this is what you want to do &
support.... Note that Hotmail has a 2MB mailbox limit - forwarding mail to
Hotmail is rarely advisable. Yahoo now has a 100MB limit which is a little
better.

Personally, I wouldn't do this - it will be a real PITA to support. If your
goal is remote access to mail, see if they can access their ourschool.edu
mail via IMAP or webmail or something like it.
