    open the Rules dropdown list
  2. The Rules and Alerts dialog box opens. Click the New Rule... button.
    Choose new rule
  3. Select Apply rule on messages I receive then click Next.

  4. The rules wizard asks which conditions we want to check. We don’t want any conditions. We want all messages to be redirected. Leave the boxes unchecked and click Next.
    there are no conditions
  5. The wizard loses its shit and asks you to confirm that the rule will apply to all messages. Click Yes.

  6. Check the box to redirect the message. Then click the hyperlink in the lower panel.
    choose the redirect action and click the people link
  7. The wizard opens WSU’s global address list. In this example we did not choose a destination address from WSU’s global address list. We moved directly to the To-> box and entered the destination address. Click OK.
    enter the destination address in the To box
  8. The action panel opens again with our destination address included in the lower panel. Click Next.
    Review the information and click next.
  9. The wizard asks if there are any exceptions. There are not. Click Next.

    click OK

Any messages delivered to your Connect! box will be redirected to your email account of choice.
