How do I send a copy of an email sent to 1 user to be sent to another user as well in Outlook 2007

Hello:

I would like to know if there is a way to have every future e-mail sent to the 'Engineer' email address to be also be sent to their supervisor(a different e-mail address/user account)?

Or perhaps if someone sends and e-mail to the 'Engineer' user account/email then a copy of that e-mail is sent to the 'Engineers' email group?  Just incase someone e-mails the 'Engineer' about a maintenance request; but, they are not in until later then the 'Supervisor' can see the e-mail as well and start working on that problem sooner than the 'engineer' can.

We are using Exchange 2007 running on a Windows 2008 Server.  The client we are running is Outlook 2007.  One may reference a previous question, if they would like to:  https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26815475/Change-the-Display-Name-for-a-user-account-in-Exchange-2007-and-Global-Address-List.html

Hi, Pkafkas.

If you want an Outlook solution, then sign into the Engineer mailbox and create a rule that forwards to the supervisor.

Will the 'Engineer' email account still receive e-mails sent to it?  Or will the forwarding just re-direct it to the supervisor not allowing the Engineer to recevie any new emails.  If that is not the case, that is fine then.

Please let me know.
may I ask why you dont go for server side solution ?

I would prefer a server side soultion.  I do like the forwarding idea; but, I just wanted to make sure that the 'Engineer' user will still receives emails if that rule is created.  

I could just test it and see.  Ohh I see that the check box states... 'Delivery address to both forwarding address and mailbox'.  That should work then.  I will test it out.
As a side note, the rule is a server side solution.  The rule runs at the server.  It's usually much easier for anyone who is not an email admin to set up a rule for this than to get the email admin to set up forwarding at the Exchange server itself.
