Redirect with Outlook 2007
 

Presently you can't redirect mail using rules in Outlook 2003 without
an Exchange Server. Is this fixed with 2007?

Fixed? It doesn't sound broken.

What do you mean by 'redirect'?

From Webopedia: "(1) In e-mail, a redirect is an option found in e-
mail clients that is similar to a forward, with the exception that
the body of the text is not normally shown as quoted text.
Additionally the From (or) Sender field will show the e-mail address
of the original sender, and in brackets it will show your
information."

From Microsoft’s web page concerning “automatically forwarding emails
to another email account” (http://office.microsoft.com/en-
us/assistance/HA011502011033.aspx): "* Message redirection**When a
rule automatically redirects a message you receive, it also leaves a
copy in your Inbox or in the folder to which the message was
originally delivered. The rule then sends the message, unchanged, to
the account specified by the rule. To the recipient, the message
appears as though it came directly from the original sender. There is
no indication that the message was delivered by way of your account."

My customer wants to filter his emails using Outlook 2003, then
automatically redirect them to his Blackberry. If you don't have an
Exchange Server (he doesn't), you don't have that option.

This option is readily available on other email clients (Eudora,
Thunderbird), but my customer likes Outlook. My question was whether
Outlook 2007 has added (fixed?) this option in response to requests.
Judging by all the addins for sale, there is a need.

Redirect with Outlook 2007
 

Taking a look at Outlook 2007:
I can create a rule that forwards a message to someone else
automatically with my IMAP/SMTP setup. When I do so, the message is
automatically forwarded, but it is clearly marked as a forward (FW: in
front, etc).

So I guess a clean redirect like you are looking for doesn't exist in
2007.

Redirect with Outlook 2007
 

Yes, Exchange MVP until October.

I wanted *your* definition of 'redirect', as I have seen dozens of them over
the years.

To me, it is typically it is a server-side concept; that is, a client should
not be necessary. I would login to my ISP account and implement such a rule
there in 'lew' of using Outlook.

Sure, many email clients have such a feature. I don't believe Outlook 2007
(as of beta 2) is one of them.

Redirect with Outlook 2007
 

Unfortunately, a server-side redirect would not use Outlook's rules
and junk filter. Thanks for the answer. I'll have to find an
alternative solution.
