Using Inbox rules, you can automatically forward or redirect emails sent to your mailbox to another account.

Creating a rule is not possible in the Light Version of Outlook Web App. Ensure that the Light Version option is not selected in the login window.

How to Automatically Redirect All Messages to Another Account

Sign in to your account and go to Settings menu (gear icon in top right corner).
Select Options.
Select Mail and then Inbox and sweep Rules.
On the Inbox and sweep Rules tab, choose New.
Set up the rule: under When the message arrives, select Apply to all messages.
Under Do the following, choose Redirect the message to.
Select the address to which you want to send your messages by double-clicking it in the Address Book view. If the address is not listed, you can type it into the To field.
Save your selection by clicking OK and return to the New Rule window.
Save the rule by clicking Save and return to the Inbox Rules tab.

Redirecting and forwarding messages are not the same:

Redirected messages appear to come from the original sender. When replying to a redirected message, your reply goes to the original sender.
Forwarded messages appear to come from your address. When replying to a forwarded message, your reply goes to the address that forwarded the message, not to the original sender.

Copies of redirected and forwarded messages remain in your Inbox.
