I have a customer that gives me access to their email servers via Citrix and Outlook Web Access (OWA) (http://mail.domain.com/exchange). They expect me to check email all day so I found myself checking email 100 times a day via Citrix and it was becoming annoying. I have a blackberry and I wanted to use it to receive emails as they arrive. I found myself logging on to the Outlook Mobile Access website (http://mail.domain.com/oma) but that was very slow and buggy. I also tried forwarding all the email using a rule but that had the bad effect of forwarding EVERY email to my blackberry; I get about 200 emails from monitoring applications a day that get routed to folders using Outlook rules. Also, forwarding emails outside of the organization is against company policy and any Exchange administrator could see my forwarding rule.

I finally found my answer reading Paul Nicholls' blog where he bypassed his schools anti-forwarding policy.

More, more, more little tools. The Sysinternals Suite is a large collection of handy little tools — including such famous tools as PsExec. It’s just a zip file, so it’s easy to install.

First grab the zip file from the Microsoft Sysinternal web site: http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/SysinternalsSuite.zip

Assuming you have 7-zip's Command Line Version (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html) you can type the following:

7za x -o"D:\program files\sysinternals\" SysinternalsSuite.zip

You can also use whichever compression utility you please.

Then, simply add it to the path.

PATH %PATH%;D:\Program Files\sysinternals
SETX PATH “%PATH%” -m

Done. :)
