Forwarding

Forwarding in Outlook is done with 'Rules'.

To copy all messages to another e-mail address, create a new rule like this:

Tools → Rules and Alerts → New Rule → for Arriving Messages

Give the new rule a name…something like 'Copy all messages to Fred', then select:

Forward the message to people or distribution list →

  Highlight Check messages after sending.
  Click Next >.
  Click Next > again to copy all mail you send.
      You can define any combination of criteria to copy only certain messages before clicking Next >. 
  If you specified no filtering criteria, click Yes.
  Make sure Cc the message to people or distribution list is checked under Step 1: Select action(s).
  Click people or distribution lists under Step 2: Edit the rule description.
  Double-click contacts or lists from your address book or type an email address under To ->.
      Separate multiple addresses with semicolons (;). 
  Click OK.
  Click Next >.
  Click Next > again.
  Precede the email address already entered under Step 1: Specify a name for this rule with "Cc: ".
  Click Finish.
  Click OK.
