Tips and considerations
- Forwarding mail from Office 365 may not work if the recipient's email provider blocks or filters forwarded emails.
- If you're forwarding mail to a non-Office 365 account, you may need to set up a forwarding rule in the recipient's email account as well.
- Forwarding mail can increase the risk of spam and phishing attacks, so be cautious when setting up forwarding rules.
- You can also use Office 365's built-in features, such as "Mail tips" and "Spam filtering", to help prevent spam and phishing attacks.
