This article was previously published under Q192699
SYMPTOMS
After creating an Inbox rule in Microsoft Outlook 97, to forward mail to an
Internet account, the rule does not appear to work, or after creating the
rule and using it successfully for a while it stops working.
CAUSE
The ability to forward mail to an Internet account has been disabled at the
Microsoft Exchange Server, or your Microsoft Exchange Server was upgraded
to version 5.5.
RESOLUTION
Contact your Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator and request the
ability to forward mail to Internet Accounts.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 allowed forwarding of e-mail to Internet
accounts by default; this was changed with Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5.
To forward mail to an Internet account through version 5.5, the restriction
to allow forwarding to Internet accounts must be removed. This can only be
done only by the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator and the procedure
is beyond the scope of this article.
