How to I redirect my emails?

tomhenryford

I have an outlook mail account. It is tediously slow.

I have set up a new ZOHO account. I want this to be my primary account but I don't want to miss any important emails.

Is there anything I can do on my Outlook account so that it will automatically send incoming emails to the new ZOHO account.

Hey Tom, I had a look on the Microsoft support site and it looks like it's possible. Unfortunately I'm new here so I can't post links yet so I'll have to copy and paste the instructions! Sorry for the lengthy post, but I hope this helps:


1. Click the File tab.

2. Click Manage Rules & Alerts.

3. In the Rules and Alerts dialog box, on the E-mail Rules tab, click New Rule.

4. Under Start from a blank rule, click Apply rule on messages I receive and click Next.

5. Under Step 1: Select condition(s), select the conditions that you want the messages to meet for the rule to apply.

6. Under Step 2: Edit the rule description, click each piece of underlined text, specify values, and then click Next.

7. Under Step 1: Select action(s), select either:

forward it to people or public group

redirect it to people or a public group

8. Under Step 2: Edit the rule description, click the underlined text for people or public group, specify the people or public group you want to forward messages to, and then click Next.

9.Under Step 1: Select exception(s) (if necessary), select any exceptions that you want.

10. Under Step 2: Edit the rule description, click each piece of underlined text, specify values, and then click Next.

11.Under Step 1: Specify a name for this rule, enter a name.

12. Under Step 2: Setup rule options, check the boxes for the options that you want.

If you want to run this rule on messages that already are in the Inbox, check the Run this rule now on messages already in “Inbox" box.

By default, the new rule is turned on. To turn off the rule, uncheck the Turn on this rule box.

To apply this rule to all email accounts set up in Outlook, check the Create this rule on all accounts box.

13. Click Finish.

Thank you for taking the time to find that. I actually switched to gmail because it wouldn't work for zoho. Thank you though.
