Forwarding messages from outlook to gmail

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

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?
