How do I "forward all" in Outlook?

Answer 1

Hi!

I'll be speaking for Outlook 2016/2019 so please let me know if you're using something different.

I'm assuming that you'd like a blanket forward rule to send all email to a different email address for example.

The simplest way to achieve this is through the use of an Outlook inbox rule which can be created like this..

1. Open Microsoft Outlook
2. Click File and then Rules and Alerts
3. Then select New Rule
4. In the Rules Wizard, select "Apply rule on messages I receive"
5. Click Next and you should see a warning that the rule will apply to all mail you receive. Select Yes at this prompt.
6. Choose the action you would like to perform. In your example, we will chose "forward it to people or public group."
7. In the lower half of this window, click "people or public group" and enter the email address that you would like to forward to in the To -> section at the bottom.
8. Once you click OK, you'll be sent back to the wizard and now "people or public group" should be replaced with the email address that you added.
9. Click next and choose any exceptions to this rule. (ex. except if from [email protected]) Click Next again.
10. Finally, add a name for the rule, select the checkbox that says Turn on this rule and select Finish.

Cheers,

Paul
