Hi Dave Johnson  

For your scenario, where you want to automatically forward emails from a specific sender and related to a specific topic, you can create an Inbox rule in Classic Outlook. 

Please follow the steps below: 

1/ Open Classic Outlook > go to File > Manage Rules & Alerts. 

2/ Choose the folder where you want the rule to apply > click New Rule. 

3/ Choose the template "Apply rule on messages I receive" 

4/ Select the conditions, such as: 

• From people or public group 
• With specific words in the subject 

Then choose the specific values for each condition. 

 

5/ Select the action: 

“Forward it to people or public group”, then assign the values. 

6/ Click Next if you do not need any exceptions. 

7/ Enter a name for the rule > select “Turn on this rule” > Finish. 

8/ Click Apply > OK. 

In addition, you can also create the same inbox rule in Outlook on the web at https://outlook.cloud.microsoft/mail/ by going to the Settings (gear icon) > Mail > Rules. 

I hope this provides helpful insight.
