Does computer have to be ON for a message rule to work?

[Bent]

I guess the subject line says it all? I set a message rule in Windows Mail
(on my home desktop) to forward emails from a certain person to my work email
so I can receive it while at work.
My question is: If my home computer is OFF, will I get the email at work? Or
do I have to leave my home computer turned ON all day while I'm not there?
Thanks in advance for your help =)

No. The mail client has to be open. You might try and look if your ISP has
webmail on which you could set up a rule...
