How to automatically forward a mail in outlook

To automatically forward a mail in Outlook, you can use the "Rules" feature. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Method 1: Using the "Rules" feature

Open Outlook and go to the "Home" tab in the ribbon.
Click on the "Rules" button in the "Move" group.
Click on "Manage Rules & Alerts" in the drop-down menu.
Click on "New Rule" in the "Rules and Alerts" window.
Select "Start from a blank rule" and click "Next".
Choose "Move messages from someone to a folder" or "Forward it to people or distribution list" depending on your preference.
Click "Specify Names" and enter the email address or name of the person you want to forward the mail to.
Click "OK" to save the rule.
Name the rule (e.g., "Forward emails from [sender's name]") and click "Finish".

Method 2: Using a macro

Open Outlook and go to the "Developer" tab in the ribbon (if you don't see it, go to "File" > "Options" > "Customize Ribbon" and check the box next to "Developer").
Click on the "Visual Basic" button in the "Code" group.
In the Visual Basic Editor, click "Insert" > "Module" to insert a new module.

Paste the following code into the module:

Sub ForwardEmails()
 Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
 Dim olMail As MailItem

 For Each olMail In olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
     If olMail.Subject Like "Your search criteria here" Then
         olMail.Forward
         Set olMail = Nothing
     End If
 Next olMail
End Sub

Replace "Your search criteria here" with the subject or sender you want to forward emails from.
Click "Run" to run the macro.

Tips and Variations

You can also use the "Rules" feature to forward emails based on specific keywords or phrases in the subject or body of the email.
To forward emails from a specific sender, use the "From" field in the "Rules" feature.
To forward emails to multiple recipients, separate their email addresses with semicolons (;).
You can also use the "Rules" feature to forward emails to a specific folder or mailbox.
If you're using Method 2, you can schedule the macro to run at specific intervals using the "Schedule" feature in the Visual Basic Editor.

Remember to test your rule or macro to ensure it's working as expected before relying on it to forward emails automatically.
