You can automatically forward your email messages in Outlook.com. This is useful if you want to read and respond to messages from another email account or when you want someone else to receive and respond to your email in your absence.
Notes:
-
Forwarded messages appear as messages that are forwarded from your account. This means that replies to those messages will automatically be addressed to your account, and not to the original sender.
-
If you want replies to messages that are automatically sent to another address to go to the original sender, Use rules to automatically forward messages to create a redirect rule.
Set up automatic forwarding
Note: If two-step verification isn't turned on for your Microsoft account, you will be prompted to enable it when you turn on forwarding. For more information, see About two-step verification.
