    Microsoft updates Microsoft 365 services sporadically, thus functional and layout changes can occur. Therefore there can be discrepancies between these instructions and your updated version. Please use the feedback link at the bottom of this page in case you notice any significant discrepancies.

    • Open Email > Forwarding (1).
    • Tick the box Enable forwarding (2).
    • In the field (3), type the address where you wish your e-mail to be forwarded.
    • If you wish to keep copies of the messages in OWA, tick the box Keep a copy of forwarded messages (4).
    • Click on Save (5).
