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

Then click the blue link People or Distribution Lists which will bring up your address book. Yes, the recipient of these messages must be in your address book.

Double-click the contact you want to be the recipient (Fred) and click OK.

Click Save.

  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.
