Well, if they are POP/IMAP accounts, I'd actually look at a method on the
ISP side since any Outlook based solution would require Outlook to always be
running.

If it is an Exchange account, I'd talk to the Exchange administrator about
doing an automatic redirect for the same reason.

I want to auto forward emails from a particular company, regardless of the
sender. How would I structure the rule? For example, if I want to foward all
emails from FedEX, can I put just FedEx in the rule? Or FedEx.com? Or
*@FedEx.com where the * (or some other character) is like a wildcard?

Use the condition "with specific words in the sender's address" and use either
"fedex" or "fedex.com" as the specific words. Outlook rules do not use
wildcards, but the strings you choose are substrings, so that using "fedex"
will match any string containing those five characters.

Brian, many thanks. Will this work regardless of whether or not the auto
forward is from an individual's Outlook or if the auto forward is from the
Exchange Server? Also, can I do this using Exchange 2003? We won't be
upgrading to Exchange 2007 for a few more months.

It will work as long as the the message matches the rule's condition. If the
sender's address contains the string, the message will be forwarded. If the
recipient to whom the message is forwarded is in the GAL, the rule should be
server-side and Exchange will handle it completely even with Outlook not
running, provided Exchange is configured to allow autoforwarding, even if the
recipient address is an outside address. If the recipient address is a
locally stored address (in a PST's Contacts folder) or there is no Exchange
server, then Outlook will need to remain running.
