Forwarding of an Exchange e-mail address

Employees

  • In the form Managing e-mail forwarding, the check box Forwarding e-mails to Exchange server is activated by default for exchange e-mail addresses. If you deactivate this check box, your e-mails will no longer be delivered to the Exchange server. Please use this option with caution.
  • To forward e-mails addressed to an Exchange e-mail address, use the functionalities provided by your locally installed software (e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird) or the Outlook Web App (OWA).
