Have you ever found yourself juggling multiple email accounts and struggling to keep up with all the incoming messages? I know I have. Thankfully, Outlook provides a simple solution – the ability to forward emails from one email account to another. In this article, I will guide you through the process of forwarding emails to another email in Outlook, sharing my personal experiences and insights along the way.
Step 1: Accessing Outlook settings
To begin, open Outlook and navigate to the settings menu. You can do this by clicking on the gear icon in the top right corner of the screen. From the dropdown menu, select “View all Outlook settings”.
Step 2: Managing email accounts
Once you are in the settings menu, click on the “Mail” tab and then select “Sync email” from the left-hand sidebar. Here, you will see a list of all the email accounts linked to your Outlook.
Personally, I have a work email and a personal email, both of which I want to access conveniently in one place. By forwarding my work emails to my personal email, I can ensure that I never miss any important messages, regardless of which account I am currently using.
Step 3: Setting up email forwarding
To forward emails from one account to another, locate the email account you want to forward and click on the “Manage” button next to it. In the settings window that opens, scroll down until you find the “Forwarding” section.
Here, you will have two options: “Forward my email to” and “Keep a copy of forwarded messages”. If you want all incoming emails to be forwarded to another email address, enter the desired email address in the first field. If you also want to keep a copy of the forwarded messages in your original account, enable the second option.
For example, I have set up my work email to be forwarded to my personal email address, and I have chosen to keep a copy of the forwarded messages in my work account. This way, I can easily access and organize my emails without losing track of any important conversations.
Step 4: Verifying and saving changes
Once you have entered the forwarding email address and set your preferences, click on the “Save” button to apply the changes. Outlook may prompt you to verify the forwarding address by sending a confirmation email to that address. Simply follow the steps provided in the verification email to complete the process.
After saving the changes and verifying the forwarding address, Outlook will immediately start forwarding incoming emails from the selected account to the designated email address. You can always return to the settings menu to modify or disable email forwarding if needed.
Conclusion
Forwarding emails to another email in Outlook is a convenient way to centralize your communications and manage multiple email accounts efficiently. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily set up email forwarding and ensure that you never miss any important messages.
So go ahead, take control of your inbox and streamline your email management with Outlook’s email forwarding feature. Trust me, it will make your life a whole lot easier!
