PST to TB programs (just do as a free trial) and once you get all of your old emails then forget Outlook. I used Outlook at work with an Exchange Server and did keep a lot of my old emails like this for a while. After a few years I finally deleted but the address book came in very handy.

As far as forwarding of the emails that has me stumped. Are you saying that you have 3 separate distinct email addresses now set up in TB? Which email is forwarding to which other email? I don't understand.
