Applying a forward to your Mailbox

Following recent communications from the InfoSec team concerning data privacy and securing access to colleagues’ email, access to other staff members’ email accounts will only be granted in exceptional cases by the HR and DPO departments. Alternative and effective methods of accessing important message during periods of absence can be achieved with clear out of office messages or setting up email forwarding to a required recipient within your department. To configure email forwarding:

 

1. Open Outlook and select File > Manage Rules & Alerts

 

 

2. Click New Rule.
3. Under Start from a blank rule, choose Apply rule on messages I receive

 

 

4. Click Next, then Next again to apply the rule to all messages
5. Select Forward it to people or public group

 

 

6. Click the underlined link to choose the recipient
7. Click Finish and then Apply
