In the Microsoft 365 Admin Center you can configure the Mail settings of a user to use "Email Forwarding". The label of the field is "Forwarding Email Address". You fill in their email address then enable "Forward all emails sent to this mailbox".

This functionality forwards any email to an external email address, keeping the original sender and leaving a copy in the mailbox. Can I replicate this functionality with Power Automate?

If not, could it be done using Microsoft Graph within Power Automate?

Thank you very much.

Forwarding emails while keeping the sender

Hello, I have managed to get the Forward to work, but I still have the problem that when I do the forward, it does not retain the original sender; it sets the owner of Power Automate as the sender. Is there any alternative I can implement programmatically to keep the original sender in the email that the recipient receives?

I checked and it happened to me to but in my case the connector that I had for the trigger was different to the one in the forward an email action.

Please check that and test.

When I try to forward an email without providing the "Original Mailbox Address," I receive a BadGateway error. Do you know why this might be happening? Thank you very much.

You can do this with a flow.

Just use the When a new email arrives trigger and Forward an email action.

hope this helps.

Cheers!
