Email forwarding allows you to direct incoming messages from one email address to another. Our mail servers redirect messages sent to a forwarded email address to the email address you specify. We do not store email messages sent to forwarded email addresses on our servers; we forward them.
You can use email forwarding to forward mail to your distribution lists. For more information about forwarding email to your distribution lists, see Managing Distribution Lists.
Adding Email Forwarding
You can add forwarded email addresses to your organizations, up to the total number of forwards your plan allows. You cannot use the same address as both an email address and a forwarded email address.
To Add a Forwarded Email Address
- In the Microsoft Email Manager, open the folder of the organization for which you want to add a forwarded email address.
- Click the Email Forwards folder.
- Above your list of Email Forwards, click Add Email Forward.
- New Email Forward
- Select the Microsoft Email plan in which you want to create a forwarded email address.
- Forward Mail To
- Enter the email address to which you want email messages forwarded.
- User name
- Enter a user name for the forwarded email address that you want to create.
- Domain
- From the domain list, select the domain you want to associate with this forwarded email address.
- Click OK.
