Forwarding Email (Outlook 2002 SP-2 & Exchange 2000)

Can anyone suggest a way to automatically forward email to users internet mail accounts while they are out of the office. Before everyone rushes to tell me about the Out of Office Assistant, this is not working (as per my posts in the Server forum). Nothing gets forwarded and senders from outside the office don’t get an out of office message.

THe OoO Assistant problem may eventually get resolved, but in the meantime, has anyone got any alternatives? Do feel free to offer solutions to the other problem, if you like – I’m not fussy!

Not automatically, the user will have to turn this Rule on and off manually, and users wiill have to put their valid internet e-mail address in (one of) their Address Books. Try standard format Rule to “Apply this rule after the message arrives … forward it to (user’s valid internet address)”.

(Or set up OWA.)

Fortunately, the one thing that has gone without a hitch (touch wood) is the setting up of OWA, so no-one has been entirely without access to email from home. Anyway, thanks to joeperez I now know how to enable Out of Office access to the internet. Plus I no longer have to provide holiday cover for the early starters, so got a lie-in this morning. All is right with the world – for a while, at least.
