The Outlook add-in is currently the only place where you can forward and reply to project email messages.

Within the Outlook add-in, the Project Email list provides the ability to manage the emails that have been filed to a project by you or other members of your team. Via this list, project emails can be forwarded, and replied to, allowing everyone involved to stay informed.

For example, you can reply to an email that you were not part of to inquire about additional information or share that information with others.

When forwarding or replying to a project email, the project email address can be included by default in CC if you want your message or reply to be filed to the project. To do so, a project admin must enable the Automatically add project email address in CC option in the project email settings.
