8/18    How do I automatically forward mail from an Outlook account to
        another account?  I basically want to know if the equivalent of
        a .forward file exists.  Thanks.
        \_ Sir, which version of Outlook are you using?  Are you pulling
           your mail from a POP, IMAP, or Exchange server?
        \_ There is no such thing as an "outlook account" - outlook is a client
           you use with a POP, IMAP or MS Exchange server - how you forward
           depends on what the server is running.
           \_ I think my company uses MS Exchange.  Is there a way for me
              to set up forwarding on the server without having to
              go through the MIS people?
                \_ Who cares?  If your company uses Exchange & Outlook they
                   don't think e-mail is at all useful or important and just
                   view it as something to get out of the way with as little
                   work as possible.
                   \_ I may hate Outlook and Exchange, but yer still an idiot.
        \_ And now for the real answer: Tools->Rules Wizard.  You'll see
           numerous options for dealing with your mail based on various
           headers and such.
                \_ the wrong answer.  That deals with mail that's already
                   been transferred to your client.  It's completely stupid
                   to download mail to a client so it can be forwarded; if
                   you try to do this it will break in a number of different
                   ways.
                   Of course, I wouldn't expect an Outlook user to understand
                   how mail works.  -tom
                   \_ Nor would I expect tom to have his head anywhere but up
                      his ass.
                      \_ wrong. as a matter of fact, tom's head has recently
                         been detected up a number of different asses.
                   \_ actually, I think outlook propagates rules to the server,
                      at least when the server is exchange
           \_ I don't know if it's the case in Outlook before Outlook98, but you
              should be able to find an "out of office assistant" that should do
              what you want.
              \_ What is an "out of office assistant"?  Are you referring to
                 that annoying paperclip?
                 \_ It's just a series of dialogs that helps you set a
                    forwarding address and an out-of-office message.  It might
                    be more "standard" to call it a wizard.
