Automatic mail forwarding in mobile Outlook app

Question

How do I set up automatic mail forwarding in mobile Outlook app?

Answer 1

Hello Chris McGavin，

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Please confirm if you are referring to the email forwarding feature, which allows emails to be forwarded to another email address.

If so, and you are using a Microsoft domain email, please log in to Outlook.live.com on your computer.

Click the gear icon in the top right corner to enter the settings page. Under the Mail tab, you can enable forwarding on the "Forwarding and IMAP" page.

If you have a different situation, please describe your needs in detail.

Answer 2

When I log into Outlook.live.com on my iPhone, it takes me into my outlook.com account, but these is no settings gearbox in the upper right corner. I can get to a settings gearbox using the three lines to the left of “Inbox” (second photo) but there is no Forwarding and IMAP option in the list of options.

Is this because I am on the iPhone mobile app?

Thanks for your help-

Answer 3

I don't understand why it was marked as unhelpful. This is unreasonable.

I specifically mentioned performing the operation on a computer because it cannot be displayed on a mobile device.

Answer 5

I did not mark anything as unhelpful, and I did not do anything unreasonable. Maybe you didn’t understand I was specifically asking about mail forwarding using the Outlook mobile app. My question was word for word:

How do I set up automatic mail forwarding in mobile Outlook app?

And I asked at the end of my question:

Is this because I am on the iPhone mobile app?

I said nothing about using a computer because I use an iPhone, not a computer.

The simple answer would be to say that there is no mail forwarding in the mobile app.
