I use Outlook 2003 and would like to send automatically a copy of every
message to another account, as a backup.

Is that possible? How?

Thanks,

Santistas

- In Outlook, use a rule to forward.

- In your account using the webmail interface to it, check if forwarding
is a server-side function.

- In the other account to which you want to forward a copy, check if it
lets you define other accounts from which to yank e-mails. If so, make
sure it has an option to leave a copy of the e-mails on the original
mail server so they don't disappear from there and you begin to wonder
where the hell your e-mails went (and forget they are getting yanked
elsewhere).

Server-side functions to foward or yank e-mails are preferrable since
the action is committed immediately, not whenever you happen to load
Outlook. Make sure the e-mails can get past the server- and client-side
anti-spam filters.

Vanguard explained the process, but what he didn't say is that the method is
a poor what of making a backup. Why do you wish to make a backup using the
method you've described?

Hi Brian,

The reason is that I can read these messages everywhere, using webmail,
even when I'm not with my laptop.

Is it not a good method?

So the first account doesn't provide a webmail interface to your
mailbox? Who would be that e-mail provider of your first account?
