Step 2: Set up email forwarding in the Outlook client

The Outlook email client allows forwarding emails in two ways:

  • Forwarding of all received email messages.
  • Forwarding of selected email messages by setting up rules. For example, emails from a specific sender / service or containing the desired word / phrase. This will help filter out mass mailings and avoid wasting time on spam.

How to forward all emails from Outlook

  1. Log in to your account in the Outlook web client and go to Settings > View all Outlook settings.
