Hi all

Not sure if this should be posted here or in an exchange forum so sorry if 
this isn't the right place for it!!

We have Exchange 2003 on our server providing our company emails. We have 
remote users who use Outlook clients (2003 or 2007) to send and receive their 
company emails using pop3. 

One of the users has a need to autoforward emails in his absence to another 
of our employees, he tried using the Rules to set this up but it fails to 
work unless he is actually in his email. This suggests it is a client side 
rule? Or is it the server overriding / preventing these rules even though 
they are using pop at the time and not connected to the exchange server as 
such?

Is there anyway to make this work? I can't forward using the Exchange server 
account as it only gives you one address option and we have all mails 
forwarding to an Archive account as standard.

I just need confirmation if this will work or not, if not I try the share 
folders & permissions method.

Thanks... Sue

A POP3 user cannot create rules that will run on the Exchange server. The 
user would need to use either an Exchange account in Outlook or access the 
server with OWA. 

I don't understand what you're saying about the limitation on forwarding by 
the server.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions :-)

We have got round it by forwarding emails to his account using exchange 
instead. The user didn't want this to be ALL the time, only in the other 
users absence but I don't want to have to keep changing this all the time for 
them as he is away often. So, he just has to have emails forwarded all the 
time and just delete the ones he doesn't want or something...
