How To Forward Email in Office 365 – Powershell

First we’re going to need to establish a connection to the Office 365 Powershell. Once that’s done we run the simple command:

#Forward email from pcontreras to paul@contoso.com
Set-Mailbox pcontreras -ForwardingSmtpAddress paul@contoso.com -Confirm: $false

#Check the status of the email forward.
Get-Mailbox pcontreras | select Alias, ForwardingSmtpAddress

#Revert back and disable forwarding.
Set-Mailbox pcontreras -ForwardingSmtpAddress $null -Confirm: $false

Thanks and hopefully that helped you forward an email to any user.
