Configuring forwarding rules
This article explains how you can configure forwarding rules for your e-mail address.
Log in to OWA with your user name and password.
If, despite the warning, a redirection was previously made in IdM Selfservice, this must be disabled or removed.
I. Configuring forwarding rules
- If you are not already there, click on “Start” (1) in the Outlook mailbox, select “Rules” (2) in the middle of the top navigation bar and then “Manage rules and notifications...” (3).
- In the “Rules and notifications” tab, you can view and edit all the rules you have defined for the mailbox. To follow these instructions, click on “New rule...” at the top left.
- Under the section “Create rule without template”, click on “Apply rule to messages I receive” and then on “Next”.
- Now specify the criteria under which the message should be forwarded, for example by specifying a particular sender or subject.
- If you simply want to forward all messages, do not select an option here and click on “Next”
- In the next step, select the option “Forward this to a person/public [sic!] group”.
- In the lower window, click on the text “to a person/public group” highlighted in blue.
- Now select a contact or enter the corresponding e-mail address directly in the “To” field below and confirm with “OK”.
- You can then specify which messages you want to exclude from the rule - for example, a particularly important message or emails with certain words in the text.
- In the last step, you can assign a name for the rules and decide whether previously received emails should also be forwarded or not.
- As soon as you are happy with the settings, click on “Finish”. Automatic forwarding is now set up.
