Foward exchange mail from a disabled user account to an external pop 3 mail server

Hi,
Our company is splitting up.  One of the principals is leaving and wants his exchange mail account (username@companyname.net) forwarded to a new pop3 mail account.  He will no longer be using the username@companyname.net account.  He will also no longer have remote access to the old company domain.
1: Can I disable his account and still have his email forwared? or do I need to leave his account acitve?
2: How do I set up his mail to foward to his pop 3 account?

OK,
I'm a novice at this.
Could some one clarify what is meant by set up a "mail enabled contact" in the "AD".
Is this done in outlook?
in the exchange general tab, I select the delivery tab "Forward to:" option and am not allowed to input an address.  Do I need to grant permission first in the window above?  If so, to whom.
Also,  Not sure why I would get in trouble for doing this.  Is there some security risk?  I will take the suggestion of changing the password on the account rather than disabling the account.
Thank you,
Sorry but I need things spelled out step by step the first time.
after that I've got it locked down tight, not to mention I can always come back to review my questions if I forget.

Thank you all.
I guess everyone has gone home Its Friday!!!

Thank you for getting back to me.

I'm assuming that the new contact is the principal who is leaving.  Since he already is  a user on the domain is this going to create a conflict somewhere?
Also, I assumend I am modifying a smtp: mail address, since I had several options on which type.
