Forwarding College email - How do I set this up?

Question:
Forwarding College email - How do I set this up?
Answer:

It is possible to set up your College email account so that it forwards all emails to a different account of your choice.

If you feel that forwarding is necessary you may wish to delete the unwanted extra emails from time to time.  However, now standard staff mailboxes are 25Gb in size you are unlikely to encounter the problem of a full, and thus inaccessible, mailbox.

  9. In the What do you want to do with the message? panel click on the redirect it to people or distribution list option so that it displays a tick mark.
  10. If a warning message displays stating that the rule will be incompatible with earlier versions of Outlook, click on 'Yes'to continue creating the rule.
