I have a collection of emails detailing work I have done for a recent project and I need to send all of these emails to someone. What would be the best way to do this using Outlook? Should I create the email then just add each email individually as an attachment, or is there a better way of grouping all of the emails together into a single attachment?

Select all the messages you want to forward, and click Forward. It should bulk-attach them for you.

Regardless of how you do it, unless you are able to redirect each message individually, its going to be a pain for the person on the other end to get what they need out of the messages.

If you’re on Exchange, it may be better to try and set up a public folder and copy the messages there, then let the other person pull them into their mailbox.

Unfortunately I am not on exchange. I need to get all my emails from my home account to another account at my work. – DaveJohnston Nov 24 '10 at 15:41
Can you map your work account from the same outlook instance? Then you can just drag the messages from one inbox to the other (or any other folder) – peelman Nov 24 '10 at 15:59
Why is it a "pain for the person on the other end"? Outlook should attach the messages as separate messages, and the recipient should be able to drag them out into a folder again. At least that's how I remember it... – sleske Jun 20 '11 at 11:14
If you're talking 10 messages, no pain at all. If you're talking a couple of thousand, or ten thousand, then its a pain. – peelman Jul 5 '11 at 20:31

If you want to forward multiple messages but not have Outlook group them all together (which is a pain for the recipient, as peelman says), the only way to do this is by using a rule. Put the messages to be forwarded in a new folder, create a rule with no conditions to forward them, and manually run the rule on all messages in the folder. See here for more details.
