Can I auto-forward incoming emails to another email account?
 

I have an email account on an exchange server. Normally I access all the email with Outlook 2003.
However in the near future I want to forward all these incoming messages
to another account for a while.

In other words: whenever an email arrives it should be automatically (!)
forwarded to another account.

Can I setup this anyhow?

Do I need access to the Exchange server itself or can I achieve this from Outlook 2003?

Normally, replies to the internet are disabled by the Exchange Admin or
should be. If you connect to an Exchange server it's best to ask your Admin
what is recommended.
If the address is internal (within the company), it should be easy to do.
Likely what would happen is someone else would become a delegate to your
mailbox. If it's work email going to an external (personal or someone else's
email), this may be something the company considers a security breach. You
should find out what the company stand is on this. It may or may not be
allowed. If it is allowed, it can be done in AD.

Her answer was both real and accurate. Without knowing where this
"other account" is there's no way to be more specific.

The short answer is that he CAN set up a forward without accessing his
Exchange server but depending upon a number of factors he didn't tell us
he might have to leave his machine logged on and Outlook running - not
really ideal. And, depending upon how his Exchange server is configured
it still might not work because auto-forwards may be disabled. But of
course we have no way to know how his Exchange server is configured.

The more elegant solution would be to set up the other account as an
alternate recipient in Exchange - but that would require access to the
Exchange server which he may, or may not, have.

Happy?
