Can an 365 alias have an alias?
-
I need one of my email alias to go elsewhere.
I would like my [email protected] to be sent to my Zendesk email address and not to my Outlook inbox. Is this possible?
-
Sure, you can have an alias. It's just not called that.
-
I'm going to assume the following:
1 account in O365 is purchased
Under that account there are several aliases (all included in the price of the single account)I now want only one of the multiple aliases I have to forward to an outside account, I can do that? cool, how?
-
@Dashrender Setup a rule in Outlook to forward all mail sent to that address. That would be a server side rule that always runs.
-
Forwarding works fine, but you can mimic a full alias too.
-
@JaredBusch If I did that, does that mean the email will forward to the non domain email address with dropping a copy in Outlook or OWA?
If this is true...that's what I want.
-
@scottalanmiller How would you do that?

Es, because forwarding always leaves the original. Well unless you set the rule to delete!
-
@JaredBusch Well that seems so simple. DUH. How do you specify a server rule versus a client rule?

It tells you when you make it if the rule is client only. No way to specify that I know of. Never bothered to look.
-
If you make on OWA it only makes server side.
-
@scottalanmiller so If I make a server rule, Outlook will ignore it?

Boy I would hope not. The rule should be applied the instant an email comes into the box. It will touch the server long before Outlook sees it.
-
@Dashrender Ok..so use OWA to make the rule instead of outlook...and then my life just gets better!
Thanks for the assist folks.

Opposite, server side rules are universal because all email is from the server. It is client side rules that are problematic because they only work when the client works. They don't move between clients and they don't work when there is no client or the client is off.
Also with things like BES, client side rules apply after email is delivered rather than before. Server side happen before. So if you use BES you bypass the client rules but server rules apply.

@scottalanmiller Great explanation Scott, thanks.
<rant>
However with all the power of Outlook, why can't I create a server rule without having to go into OWA?

</rant>You can. You can make both.

@scottalanmiller Thanks! I found this website to help me with the differences.
