How can I automatically forward a copy of an email?

[Bill Fisher]

I would like to be able to automatically forward emails I receive from a
specific sender........so that myself and boss both receive the email at
about the same time, and he doesn't have to wait for me to get to my
computer, read and then forward to him. I've looked into rules, but didn't
find any help there.

Thanks for any help.

Why do you believe a rule can't do that?

Apply this rule after the message arrives
from people or distribution list
forward it to people ir distribution list
and stop processing more rules

If you are using Exchange and you did not choose either the sender or the
recipient from a local Contacts folder, then this rule should be a server-side
rule that will operate whether or not you have Outlook running. Otherwise, it
will be a coient-sde rule and you'll need to leave Outlook running for this to
work. A better solution may be to see if the server itself supports this type
of rule.
