How to view history on Mail Forwarding - when it was turned on and off

I want to see when a mail forward was set up on my email. I turned it off without getting a screenshot of the email address it was going to or the setting that was in place for the email forward. I want to see how long it had been on for in my emails as it is potentially a breach of a DVO.

    Personal Outlook.com accounts do not provide a user-accessible audit log showing exactly when forwarding was enabled or disabled.

    If you disabled an inbox rule without deleting it, open its details while keeping it disabled; the destination address may still be recorded there. Disabling a rule preserves it while stopping it from running. This can help document account access, but they are not a forwarding history and cannot establish who enabled forwarding or how long it operated.
