I am trying to set my Outlook 2003 to redirect all incoming messages
automatically to another e-mail address. In the rules wizard, there is not
mention of "re-direct", only "forward". Yet in the Outlook Help the
"re-direct" option is described as though it should be in the rules wizard.
What am I missing.
Here is a link to the help page:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011502011033.aspx
and a qoute from there:
Automatically redirect incoming messages to another e-mail account
Use this method if you don't want recipients of the redirected messages to
know that they were delivered by way of your Inbox.
Note The following steps explain how to create and apply a rule (rule: One
or more automatic actions taken on e-mail messages and meeting requests that
meet certain conditions, along with any exceptions to those conditions. Rules
are also referred to as filters.) to your Inbox or one of your private
folders. To create a rule for a public folder, you must do so from the
folder's Properties dialog box.
In Mail, in the Navigation Pane (Navigation Pane: The column on the left
side of the Outlook window that includes panes such as Shortcuts or Mail and
the shortcuts or folders within each pane. Click a folder to show the items
in the folder.), on the Tools menu, click Rules and Alerts.
If you have more than one e-mail account (e-mail account: The server name,
user name, password, and e-mail address used by Outlook to connect to an
e-mail service. You create the e-mail account in Outlook by using information
provided by your administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).) in your
Outlook e-mail profile (Outlook e-mail profile: A profile is what Outlook
uses to remember the e-mail accounts and the settings that tell Outlook where
your e-mail is stored.), in the Apply changes to this folder list, click the
Inbox to which you want the rule to apply.
Click New Rule.
Click Start from a blank rule, and then click Next.
Under Step 1: Select when messages should be checked, click Check messages
when they arrive, and then click Next.
Under Step 1: Select condition(s), select the check box next to each
condition that you want the incoming message to match.
Under Step 2: Edit the rule description, click the underlined value that
corresponds to the condition, and then select or type the necessary
information.
Example: Redirect each incoming message whose subject contains the words
"Contoso Pharmaceuticals"
Under Step 1: Select condition(s), select the with specific words in the
subject check box.
Under Step 2: Edit the rule description, click specific words.
In the Search Text dialog box, type Contoso Pharmaceuticals in the Specify
words box, click Add, and then click OK.
Click Next.
Under Step 1: Select action(s), select the redirect it to people or
distribution list check box.
Under Step 2: Edit the rule description, click people or distribution list.
In one of the address lists, double-click the name or distribution list to
which you want to redirect the messages, and then click OK.
Click Next twice.
Under Step 1: Specify a name for this rule, type a name.
To run this rule on the messages that are already in your folders, select
the Run this rule now on messages already in "folder" check box.
To apply this rule to all your e-mail accounts and Inboxes, select the
Create this rule on all accounts check box.
Click Finish.
