Steps to do email forwarding in a microsoft user account

 

.

Use the Exchange Admin Center directly

Since you have Exchange Admin rights, do this instead:

  1. Open:

    https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com
    
  2. Go to:

    Recipients → Mailboxes
    
  3. Select Test Name (name@test.com).

  4. Click:

    Mail flow settings
    
  5. Choose:

    Email forwarding
    
  6. Turn forwarding ON.

  7. Enter:

    admin@test.com
    
  8. IMPORTANT: Uncheck:

    Deliver message to both forwarding address and mailbox
    

    This ensures:

    • ✅ Admin receives the email.

    • ❌ User no longer receives a copy.

  9. Click Save.
