How do I automatically forward emails from Thunderbird

I have two TB accounts that I want to have all emails forward automatically to a third email address in Outlook 365 email account. I can't find anyway to do this, but there's got to be a discrete series of steps in TB to do this (I hope)

Chosen solution

For incoming mail, you could create filters for each account (Tools/Message Filters) that forward messages to the O365 account. But these would work only when TB was running. The more common approach is to set the target account to collect mail from other accounts, in this case through the O365 webmail settings.

For outgoing mail, you could have the two accounts CC messages to the O365 account, in Tools/Account Settings, Copies & Folders.
