Why is my rule to forward messages outlook 2010 not working?
I want to use Outlook 2010 to forward all my e-mail EXCEPT messages containing the word "general" or "info" in the subject line.
Here is my current rule:
When an e-mail arrives:
move it to the saved messages folder
and forward it to me@cox.net
except where the word "general"appears in the subject line
stop processing more rules

Try removing the move it to saved messages.
A forward wont delete the original message.
It might also be ordering.
When it arrives, fwd it to me@cox except when the words xxx and xxx in subject line
and then move it to a folder?

My idea is that the rule is working on the source email at all times , so the rules and manipulations will be in the order presented.
Or add a rule that says, when messages arrive in saved message folder, then apply a forwarding rule.
I think your failed as you moved the mail first, then it had nothing to fwd.
Is the rule being applied to the messages entering the saved folder?

Still not working.
The rule now says
when e-mail arrives forward it to me@cox.net
No mail is being forwarded by the rule.

This must be an Outlook 2010 problem.

I am not out of the office.
Last week, I was running on my old Exchange Server 2000, and Outlook 2007,
I simply redirected the e-mail to the cox.net account and the mail arrived without a problem.
Over the weekend, we switched to Exchange Server 2010 and Outlook 2010.
I cannot "auto" forward emails to my cox.net account with a rule in Outlook.

I diagnosed the problem and found the solution:
Open Exchange Management Console
Then navigate to Organization Configuration -> Hub Transport -> Message Format
Place a check mark in the box next to "Allow automatic forward".
Then click apply.
Then click ok.
That's about it.

My Advice
Exchange 2010:
Open Exchange Management Console
Expand Organization Configuration-> Hub Transport
On the tab named “Message Format” (Exchange 2010) you can enable or disable the automatic replying/forwarding.
Seems to tie in with your solution once we had all the information. I believe some points should be assigned here.
