I have been asked to help some one to forward all his mail messages from Outlook exchange account to his Gmail folder.
So to achieve that you need to open your outlook.
Go to Tools->Rules and Alerts…
Then you need to create a new rule. in the window that popped up you click on the new rule button.
Then you get the rule window with templates in it.
Click on next and you get the default rule that you are about to customize.
Change the marked item in the list of “Step 1:” to “through the specified account”
Click on the first link in the “Step 2:” box.
Select the account you want to forward
Click on OK.
Then click on next and change the selection to “forward it to people or distribution list”
Go to “Step 2:” and click on the second link
In the window that opens type the email account you want to forward it to
Now click on OK and Finish.
That is it. test the forward with an email self addressed.

I’m trying to forward my e-mails to my personal account following this guide.
I can see in the Sent Items folder that each incoming message is being forwarded. But in my other e-mails’ inboxes I cannot see it (not in spam either).
Do you have the ability to tell if they went off the exchange?
It might be that the exchange did not send them out.
Check also spelling of the email you send it to.
I have seen email’s not going out of the exchange or errors of emails that never gone through come back 3-4 days later.
Good luck
Yuval
This worked for me when I tested, thanks, I’ve been wanting my company email on the go!
I can see in the Sent Items folder that each incoming message is being forwarded. But in my other e-mails’ inboxes I cannot see it (not in spam either).
Are they been forwarded to the emails in the same server? have you waited long enough?
Can you verify that the emails are correctly spelled?
Have you gotten any response emails with errors?
You know so many interesting infomation. You might be very wise. I like such people. Don’t top writing.
I followed your steps and every time an email comes to outlook it is displaying forwarded message but nothing comes in gmail.
I have waited long enough.
I spelled my gmail account correctly.
I haven’t gotten any error responses.
And what do you mean “Are they been forwarded to the emails in the same server? ”
I have my company email account and i want to check it from my gmail account. Shall i change something from gmail account settings???
I followed you steps, when exchanging emails from outlook a message is being displayed, sth like message forwarded but nothing is displayed in my gmail account. I spelled it correctly. Waited enouth. No error responses. I’m not understading emails in the same server?? I want my company email messages (custom email address) forwarded to my gmail. Should i configure something from gmail??
Can you elaborate on the message form outlook? do you see any errors in your send & recieve log?
Everything is ok!
In every e-mail received in outlook, a message is displayed above the From part saying ‘This message was AutoForwarded’ but still nothing recieved in my gmail inbox.Any clues?
Can you try to forward manually a message to the same gmail account?
could you also check the gmail trash?
Yes I can forward a email manually in my gmail account and there is nothing in my gmail trash. I think there is anything missing in the configuration something you consider checked but isn’t.. I don’t really know why isn’t working for me???
I am having the same issue as ‘blera’. I can forward my email, its not in trash, I’ve definitely waited. Outlook appears to have forwarded them, but nothing shows up in gmail. HELP!
I have the same problem. I can manually forward email from outlook to gmail, but can’t automatically forward email. Do you have solution yet? Thank you.
same problem. Outlook says everythign went through it is even in the sent files btu nothing pops up in the other account i forwarded it to….
I followed the steps to forward the outlook to my gmail and everything works great. However, I am not getting my emails to my phone unless I hit the send and receive button. Is there a way for outlook to to this automatically every ten minutes?
Hi Mike,
I will need a bit more information from you to try and help you out.
What phone are you using and what is the way you configured it to get the email from?
Where do you press the send and receive? phone or outlook.
Outlook can be configured to sync with the server periodically.
From the Outlook menu select:
Tools->Send/Receive->Send/Receive Settings->Define Send/Receive Groups
Highlight the All Accounts group.
Make sure “Schedule an automatic send/receive every minutes.” is checked under Setting for group “All Accounts”.
Enter the desired interval for automatic mail retrieval.
Click Close.
Hope this helps

Sorry for the missing details, but you didn’t need them. You are good.
Thank you Y.
I’m having the same problem as blera, aysha, xdy, and Brenda. Obviously this is an issue with something somewhere!
