Office 365 has different features dependant on the Plan you are subscribed to – so I guess the first thing to check is are you on a Plan E or small business?
 
If you are a Plan E (enterprise) subscriber you can set up a transport rule which can BCC all emails for all users – this is by far the best documented and robust solution.
 
If you are a small business subscriber then you do not have access to the Transport Rules and therefore you need to carry out the forward in a different way, this is still achievable using a script. The following are a couple of code snippets that explain how to achieve this. Although a little more manual with the small business edition it is pretty straight forward to complete and only needs to be ran once to set the configuration option you require.
 
Here are the general steps for you with Office 365 E plan:
 
1. Log in Office 365 Portal and go to Admin page.
 
2. Click " Manage" under Exchange Online and click "Mail Control".
 
3. At the Rules page, click New to create the rule.
 
4. At the new pop-up window, click More Options to create a transport rule for this user using the wizard.
 
However, it would not be possible to use Transparent rule to achieve this using Office 365 Small Business subscription.
 
To achieve the goal that forwards messages to other email address in Office 365 Small Business plan,  we can setup a global redirection  as a workaround to in stead of transport rule.
 
To do so, please take the following steps:
(1 Connect Windows PowerShell to Exchange Online.
(2 Create a new mailbox to collect all the messages. For example, publicforward@contoso.onmcirosoft.com. 
(3 Run this command in Remote PowerShell: 
Get-Mailbox | Where {$_.RecipientType -eq "UserMailbox"}| Set-Mailbox -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $true 
(4 Run another command to set forwarding rules for all the user mailboxes: 
Get-Mailbox | Where {$_.RecipientType -eq "UserMailbox"}| Set-Mailbox -ForwardingAddress publicforward@contoso.onmicrosoft.com 
(5 Remove the forwarding rule for the public forward mailbox: 
Set-Mailbox pulicforward -ForwardingAddress $null
