How do I set up email forwarding?
To set up email forwarding in Microsoft Outlook, the process slightly differs depending on whether you are using the desktop application or Outlook on the web. For Outlook on the web, you can begin by signing into your account. Once logged in, you should navigate to the settings gear icon, usually located at the top right corner of the page. From the drop-down menu, select "View all Outlook settings." In the settings panel, locate the "Mail" section, then find the "Forwarding" option.
In that section, you can enable forwarding by checking the box that allows this feature. You will need to enter the email address where you want your messages to be forwarded. Additionally, you may have the option to keep a copy of the forwarded messages in your Outlook account. Once you have configured these settings, make sure to save the changes.
For the desktop version of Outlook, the process is slightly different but generally involves going to "File," selecting "Manage Rules & Alerts," and setting a new rule for forwarding. The complete steps for that can be found in the help section of the Outlook application or the official website.
