Office 365 - Email Forwarding & Distrubution

[MatthewL]

I want to add a domain into my O365 plan where I will have a mailbox but also want to create alias' that forward to other email addresses can it be done?

 

So if I email [email protected] it will forward to his personal email of [email protected]

 

Can this be done?

 

It's for a group with no funds but want's to issue "nice" looking email addresses to certain members.

 

We also then want to create a distribution list with all members on which I can add as contacts and then only allow certain email addresses to send to it as such, again can this be done?

You can set a mailbox to automatically forward email to another email address; normally leaving a copy of the email in the original mailbox.

You can add addition email addresses to a mailbox in the exchange admin centre under the mailbox settings you want to add the address to.

What it is I want to create an email address that forwards to someone's personal email without having a mailbox, if this possible?

 

The only way I can see it to work is create a distribution list and add them in that way.

Then @FN-GM's reply should be what you are after. As long as O365 manages the domain you want added, once the email address is added to the mailbox following @FN-GM's instructions it will pick up e-mails to that address, the account won't display that address on outgoing e-mails unless you set it up as the default email address, if it's not going to be used any more as a contactable address, just remove it from the account.

Not sure if I made myself clear.

 

I have users who are not on O365 but use the likes of Gmail and Hotmail for email. I don't want to add a SMTP to an email address, I want to create a forwarder so if someone emails say [email protected] it forwards its to [email protected] for example.

To do that go onto the mailbox properties and you can forward onto another person. You might have to add the personal email address as a contact in Exchange.
