Answer 1

Hi @Glenn Maxwell ,

1. Display information about Specific Mailbox Forwarding settings:

Get-Mailbox ******@contoso.com | FL DeliverToMailboxAndForward,ForwardingAddress,ForwardingSmtpAddress

1. Disable (remove) E-mail Forwarding option:

Set-Mailbox ******@contoso.com -ForwardingAddress(/-ForwardingsmtpAddress) $Null

1. Forward all email sent to another mailbox:

Set-Mailbox -Identity "someone" -ForwardingAddress "******@contoso.com"

Forward all mail to an external email address:

Set-Mailbox -Identity "someone" -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $true -ForwardingSMTPAddress "******@contoso.com"

  For reference: Set-Mailbox.
