I can't believe that for all these years I have totally overlooked the existence and implications of the mail-enabled account. Thank you, Ed. Your clear exposition of the three was a revelation. That's why we call you the master.

Will the person need an Exchange mailbox? If the person retrieve all mail from the outside mailbox then he or she doesn't need an Exchange mailbox. 2. Does the person need an Active Directory account for any other domain applications? If the answer to 1 is yes, then create a separate mail-enabled contact with the target address set to the outside mail account, and make that contact an alternate recipient on the user's account. If the answer to 1 is no and the answer to 2 is yes, then change the user account from a mailbox-enabled account to a mail-enabled account (first delete the mailbox, then add an e-mail address in Exchange Tasks) and make the target address the outside mailbox's address. If the answers to both 1 and 2 are no, then delete the user account and mailbox and replace it with a mail-enabled contact.

Using Microsoft Exchange? I checked all the settings, but I could not find it. I found how to forward them internally but not externally.
