Purpose

This add-in automatically forwards any email placed in a designated subfolder to the email address specified by that subfolder's name.

Users create a top-level folder named "DropToForward" and add subfolders inside it, each named with a destination email address.

  3. Verify that the forwarded message is in the "Sent Items" folder. If you wish to delete it permanently after forwarding, add the tag "CleanSentItems" to the "Description" field of the "DropToForward" folder.

Demo Version Notes

This demo version appends the tag [DropToForward_DEMO] to the subject line of each forwarded message. The full version forwards messages without modifying the subject line.
