   • If the setting is not found, then forwarding is not allowed for your account.
     If you had forwarding already set in the past and you wish to remove it, but the setting is no longer found, you can have it removed by creating a ticket (link).
   • See this page on support.microsoft.com (link) for instructions to enable forwarding if your account allows it.
     You can reverse the instructions on that page to disable forwarding on the account.
