Problem using rules to copy mail messages between Exchange Account

[Guest]

I have been trying to use Outlook Rules to copy email messages between 2
Exchange accounts with only partial success. What I would like to do is
create an exact copy of an incoming mail message from Account A in the inbox
of Account B.

If I use the forwarding rule, it looks like it's coming from Account A - not
the orignal sender. If I use the redirection rule, the original sender is
preserved, but the original recepient list (in the To: and Cc: fields) are
lost, and replaced with Account B's address.

I am Using Exchange 2003 running on Small Business Server 2003 with Outlook
2003 clients. I am open to any suggestions, including 3rd party software.

Not sure if you like this option, but if you have access to both mailboxes,
you can have them both open at once in your Outlook profile ...you can
right-click/hold, drag, release/copy in the other mailbox.

If this is for *all* inbound mail for mailbox A, you would be far better off
using forwarding in mailbox A's properties on the server.

Thanks for the reply. The user doesn't like the forwarding option, because
they want to be able to see the original sender at a glance in their inbox.
With the forwarding rule in Outlook, the mail message needs to be opened to
see the original sender. Is there another forwarding option that can be set
on the server? If so, how is it accessed?

Yes - it's in the properties of the user's mailbox in ADUC on the server(s).
A copy of all inbound mail to mailbox A can be delivered to mailbox B,
intact.
