How to forward email correctly?
-
This is what it looks like in gmail.
-
Looks like Outlook.com does it by connecting to the other service.

I didn't realize you could add outside domains to Gmail's send-as list. Learn something new every day.

@JaredBusch Very cool...thanks for the extra information. I will be looking into this.
I found out that Outlook.com no longer allows you to sign up using a non MS login (ie. you have to use @live, @hotmail, @outlook). They are supported existing users and the rest need to go to O365.
I am hoping to move all their email to O365, making this question moot, however it's good to know how to do weird stuff clients want.

I did this just like 4 weeks ago with my work email. I created a microsoft account under [email protected]

When dealing with small (mom & pop) businesses and website related businesses, the client wants to only have to use one inbox. Of course using Outlook is a great idea, however getting them to pay for it is another issue.
Now we have O365 and it is more affordable, I have new options. But there are always those with an EXTREME grip on their finances...thus the question.

Ok, that makes sense.

By makes sense, I mean I understand what you mean. Their reasoning doesn't really make sense.

How come they didn't just have the website send the emails directly to their current address if they don't want to maintain two accounts? (he says thinking he already knows the answer)

Not the OP, but obviously because they want them all coming in the smae place but still separated. This is obvious due to wanting the reply to go out on the same email address it came in on.
-
@JaredBusch That is usually the reason they tell me.

Mail from the website should always be from the domain. It's more professional and it continues the branding.
However with the use of support desks and contact forms, it might be possible to make all that transparent to the website visitor.
