Can I use Outlook's rules to automatically send an email (not forward an email) each time a new message arrives?

Question

I have a work email account in Outlook 2010, and I want to send an email to another, non-Outlook email account each time a new message arrives in Outlook. How do I do this? In the Rules Wizard I don't see an action for "send a message" or anything like that. Is my only option to use VBA?

I don't want to forward the email from Outlook to my other account because I'm restricted from forwarding work emails to personal accounts. I just want to send a completely new email, with a subject of "new email" or something.

Answer 1

This is not possible.

You could use a rule to forward an email to another account (just mentioning it as an option, even though you mentioned you're not allowed to do this), but you can't write a custom email to a custom person.

I think it would be easier to setup your other mail client to also receive the email you get in outlook.

Answer 2

How about running a script to send the new email.

Answer 3

How about an automated response? (normally used for vacations etc.)
