Using Outlook 2007 on POP3 setup (I'm not any more technical than this). Have Auto Forward rule established and random emails do not get auto forwarded.
emailA from Sally to Tommy - arrived 5:23 and auto-forwarded at 5:23 (worked as desired)
emailB from Pat to Tommy - arrived 5:33 and DID NOT AUTO FORWARD - (Tommy replied to Pat at 6:19)
(Tommy left work at that time and stopped checking his emails)
emailC from same Pat to same Tommy - arrived at 6:32 and auto-forwarded at 6:38 (worked as desired)
No attachments were included with any of these emails. Could it have something to do with the timing of the auto-forwarding? And if Tommy responds or opens an email before the Rule fires off, then the Rule doesn't work?
What things can I look for to try to understand why the Rule randomly works? Thanks!
