Question about outlook

[MrsMar]

My employers won't allow me access to my work outlook while I'm on maternity leave. Is there a way I can set up a rule to forward my mail to another email account? Whenever I use the rules wizard, it only allows me to forward mail to a different outlook folder, not another email address. Any clues?

can you put an out of office assistant on, quaoting your home email?
have you asked the tech people and why wont thye?
wy do you want to?
you are on Maternity Leave... enjoy it!

The tech people say I have to have authorisation and my manager won't give it to me as I'm not that important ! I will do an out of office thingy too, but I would like it for two reasons a) I really don't know if I can face sifting through the 10,000 emails I'm bound to have (cos if I don't I'm bound to miss a crucial one) and b) I have a new job starting when I get back and I feel really out of the loop. I've got some training courses to do as "catching up days" and HR can't forward the details of those courses to any address outside our office as they're automated ones and.... oh it's so complicated!!!

for you

Ho hum!! I guess I'll have to listen to what you (and everyone else I know BTW) says, and enjoy my maternity leave
