Redirecting inbound mail

Hi,

We recently had to terminate an employee and my boss now wants to forward all incoming mail messages addressed to her to a coworker that still works here instead. I was thinking it would be possible to set up her account as a mailing list and then make the coworker the only member of that list, but that would mean I would have to disable the terminated employee's account and remove the mailbox, right? My boss and the coworker still need access to older messages still in the terminated employee's mailbox so I'd like to find another way of doing this, if possible.

Thanks!
 
I had to do this recently myself. My approach was to
1) in the user account (Active Directory users and computers ->users) I changed the exchange delivery options to forward all emails to the co-workers account

2) I disabled the account since no one should be logging in anymore

3) I exported all her old mail to a PST file, then imported into the co-workers email account
 
Man, I should really get my noggin checked. I knew the answer all along and instead posted a mental boner in the form of an obvious question to all of yous. :)

Thanks for the speedy replies, though...

I like to mail enable a public folder, set security and age limits, then add the ex-employee smtp address to the public folder. That way, it cleans itself up.
