As the admin of an organization, you might have company requirements to set up email forwarding for a user's mailbox. Email forwarding lets you forward email messages sent to a user's mailbox to another user's mailbox inside or outside of your organization.

Important

You can use outbound spam filter policies to control automatic forwarding to external recipients. For more information, see Control automatic external email forwarding in Microsoft 365.

Configure email forwarding

Before you set up email forwarding, note the following:

  • Once you set up email forwarding, only new emails sent to the from mailbox will be forwarded.

  • Email forwarding requires that the from account has a license. If you're setting up email forwarding because the user has left your organization, another option is to convert their mailbox to a shared mailbox. This way several people can access it. However, a shared mailbox cannot exceed 50GB.
