Many Outlook users on forums often ask how to automatically send incoming emails to another account without manually forwarding every message. The built-in Outlook Auto Forward feature is one of the easiest ways to manage multiple inboxes, especially for remote teams, business communication, and backup email monitoring.

Most users recommend enabling forwarding directly from Outlook Web settings. According to Microsoft Support, users can open Settings, navigate to Mail > Forwarding, enable forwarding, and enter the target email address. This allows all incoming emails to be redirected automatically while optionally keeping a copy inside the original inbox.

Forum discussions also highlight that users can create custom forwarding rules for specific senders, keywords, or subjects. This is useful for businesses that want to organize support tickets, invoices, or client conversations automatically. Some Reddit users mentioned that forwarding rules may fail if external forwarding is restricted by organization administrators or Microsoft 365 policies.
