The mail forwarding feature in Microsoft Outlook can be useful, in case you have switched to a new email address and want to make sure that emails addressed to your old email address are available in your new email account.

It is not necessary for the forwarding email address to be another Outlook email address. You can forward Emails from Outlook to Gmail and almost all other popular Email Clients.

Note: Due to increase in security measures by email servers, you may find certain messages sent to the forwarding email address landing in the spam folder.
