Auto Forward

[Debbie]

My employer has just switched to Outlook Exchange 2007. I now access my work email through Outlook Web Access. I have successfully added a rule to auto forward my work email to a personal AOL email address. Now all forwarded emails are received as from my work email address, not from the original sender email address. The only way to see who sent the original email is to open each email individually. I can no longer search my email file by original email address either because all emails are from my work email address. :?

This problem does not occur when forwarding to a Gmail account. It was never an issue when the company previously used Netscape Messenger Express. Other than get rid of AOL, is there any fix or rule that will record forwarded emails as from each original sender rather than all from my work email address?

This is normal behavior. You (your email account) is forwarding a message,
so you are the sender. If you have access to a full Outlook client, you can
change this rule so it "Redirects" messages instead of forwarding them.
