Outlook
How did Microsoft Outlook get to be everyone in the world’s favorite email program without a “bounce” or “redirect” feature? Now I have to explain what an email header is and how to see it to send it to me.
Ignorant users I have no problem with. Malicious developers that try to make it more difficult for us to deal with the ignorant users, and CHARGE US FOR THE PRIVILEGE, those just piss me off.
My favorite email program
My favorite email program was Eudora Light. Unfortunately, AOL, which is probably my LEAST favorite email doesn’t support popmail. I would stay away from Outlook anyway because of all those viruses. I am crazy about the outlook calendar though.
I don’t know exactly what
I don’t know exactly what you mean by “bounce” and “redirect”, but Outlook offers Forwarding, both manual and automatic.
If you want to automatically forward email to another recipient, use the “out of Office Wizard.” You can either auto-reply, forward all mail, or set up rules to do some of each, depending on whatever criteria you want.
If you want to manually forward a message, either click on the toolbar icon or right-click the message and choose “Forward.”
Outlook Express is considerably more limited. I believe more people use OE than Outlook, but more businesses use Outlook. IMHO, OE is a better e‑mail program and Outlook is better groupware. (Nice calendar, scheduler, etc, too.)
Dad
Yeah, I know how to forward
Yeah, I know how to forward the contents of a message as a new email. What I don’t know how to do in Outlook that is a feature of Pine, Mutt, Eudora, Apple Mail, Pegasus Mail, PMMail, Mulberry, and every other email program I’ve used since 1994 is to send a message exactly as it was received to another recipient, complete with the original headers, as though the original sender had sent the mail to the next person.
It’s useful when you receive a misaddressed email, and invaluable when you’re trying to diagnose email problems.
