Forward Multiple Emails Individually in Outlook

To forward a bunch of emails in Outlook, you could highlight them and send them as attachments in a new message. However, with a small workaround, you can forward several emails as individual messages quickly in Outlook.

How to Forward Multiple Emails Individually in Outlook

When you want to forward several emails to one or more of your contacts, copy the recipients to a special folder and have an Outlook rule forward them individually and automatically. Here's how.

Go to Folder > New Folder, and enter a name for the new folder.
Right-click and drag each message you want to forward to the new folder, release the mouse, then select Copy.
Open the new folder.
Go to Home > Move > Rules.
Select Create Rule.
Select Advanced Options.
Clear all checkboxes, then select Next.
In the warning dialog box, select Yes.
In Step1, select either forward it to people or public group or forward it to people or distribution list.

As an alternative, select Forward it to people or public group as an attachment (or Forward it to people or distribution list as an attachment) to forward the message as an attachment and not as inline text.
In Step 2, select either People or public group or People or distribution list.
Double-click the desired contact or list from your address book. Or, in the To text box, type the email address that will receive the forwarded messages.
Select OK.
Select Next.
Select Next again.
Clear the Turn on this rule checkbox.
Select Finish.
