Video: Redirect all messages to another account
This video shows you how to automatically redirect all incoming messages to another e-mail account.
How do I automatically redirect all messages to another account?
-
After you sign in to your account, click Options, then click Organize E-Mail, and then click Inbox Rules.
-
On the Inbox Rules tab, click New.
-
Under When the message arrives, select Apply to all messages.
-
Under Do the following, select Redirect the message to.
-
Select the address you want your mail sent to by double-clicking on it in the address book view. If the address you want to redirect to doesn't appear, you can enter the e-mail address in the To field.
-
Click OK to save your selections and return to the new rule window.
-
Click Save to save your rule and return to the Inbox Rules tab.
What else do I need to know?
Redirecting and forwarding are not the same.
-
Messages that are redirected will appear to come from the original sender. When you reply to a message that has been redirected, the reply will be sent to the original sender.
-
Messages that are forwarded will appear to be forwarded from you. When you reply to a message that has been forwarded, the reply will be sent to the address the message was forwarded from, not to the original sender.
-
A copy of messages that you redirect or forward will remain in your Inbox.
What if I want to know more?
