Cant get rules to fwd message to another email address.

I am trying to set up a rule for a particular email account I have on Mail. I went under preferences and opened rules. I selected "every message" in the first section and then "Fwd to" and the new email address in the next section. I cant seem to get the rule to work. I have tried changing different settings and even tried using a different email address and it just doesnt seem to work? Am I missing something?

Sounds to me like you are doing everything right. I tried it for a specific email that I received and it forwarded just like I expected but the process does not leave a copy in the Sent Items folder as would be the case if I manually forwarded a specific message.
The rule setup was
If "Any" of the following conditions are met
"From" "Contains" "email@address"
Perform the following actions:
"Forward Message" to "other_email@address"
then clicked on OK.
I was prompted if I wanted to Apply the rule and did so. There was one email in my inbox which satisfied the condition and it was forwarded successfully.

  • Copying every outgoing message to another email address

    Is it possible to automatically copy every outgoing message to one particular email address besides your own? I could not find a filter rule that would do this. Thanks.

    Sorry for the delayed response. I neglected to subscribe to the topic after my initial post, and forgot to check for responses until now. The account in question is my young daughter's. I've already set it up so that I receive copies of all her incoming mail to my account, but I'd also like to get copies of all her outgoing messages. Of course, I've already set up the account so that she can only email with those I've added to her "white list." And of course, she's fully aware of my surveillance. Thanks.

  • How do I import all folders and saved messages from another email address?

    I'm using Mac OS X. Only my inbox messages have imported. I'm trying to import from my GoDaddy email account.

    ''re : Only my inbox messages have imported.''
    This sounds like you have created a POP mail account.
    Pop mail accounts can only get access and download from server Inbox to Thunderbrd mail account Inbox. This is not a Thunderbird quirk; it is how all POP mail accounts work.
    There is a workaround.
    In Thunderbird
    * Move all good emails from Inbox to other suitable folders.
    * Delete any emails you do not want.
    * Right click on Inbox and select : 'Compact'
    Now you have an empty Inbox which will make it easier to identify emails downloaded from different folders.
    * Log on to webmail account using a browser.
    * Move all emails from one of your folders into Inbox.
    * In Thunderbird select to 'Get Messages'
    * Thunderbird will download any emails not previously downloaded to the Inbox.
    * Create a suitable folder and move all those emails into it.
    Repeat this action to move emails in other folders into webmail Inbox and then download them.
    This will get emails from server folders into Thunderbird.
    From then onwards any new mail coming into server Inbox will get downloaded to Thunderbird mail account Inbox, so this workaround would only need to be done once.
    '''Note:'''
    Pop mail accounts usually download and delete off server, so if you do not want this to occur, check this first:
    Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
    OR
    right click on mail account in Flder Pane and select 'Settings'
    then 'Server Settings' for mail account.
    * Select 'Leave messages on server'
    If you want to auto delete some emails, you can select either ot both of these options:
    * For at most xx days
    * Until I delete them
    * Click on 'OK'
    If a POP mail account does not do what you want, you would need to see if your webmail account allows 'IMAP forwarding' and select that option.
    Then create a new IMAP mail account in Thunderbird.
    This would allow you to subscribe to see any folders on the server.
    IMAP accounts mean that you get a remote view of the server folders, so anything you do in Thunderbird will also occur on the server. eg: if you delete an email in Thunderbird it will delete off server as you are seeing one in the same folders.
    In both cases it is always advisable to periodically create a backup:
    Profile Folder location:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    Backup info:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
    Imap backup:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/IMAP_backup

  • I am trying to forward certain email I get to my icloud email to another email address. I have added the unwanted senders email to rules and included where i would like the email to be forwarded

    I am trying to forward a certain email I get to my icloud email to another email address.

    any help would be great

    new account are created without a password, so asking for it is normal.
    see http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/pssswords.html
    Compare the passwords Thunderbird has for the other accounts and see if using the same one is what you need to do.

  • I receive a message to sign in to iCloud when replying to a message from another email account

    I receive a message to sign in to iCloud when replying to a message from another email account

    Does that happen all the time? I just got the same message when trying to open an email in one of my mail accounts and I don't even have iCloud mail, but I was in the process of setting up a brand new iPad Air 2 and I just assumed that it is a security feature that randomly popped up because it was a new device. I do think that I recall that occurring in the past though, and I assume it's simply a security feature.

  • HT4859 My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    My Apple ID is my AOL email address. Since I set up iCloud & another email address, I only have an Inbox.  I kept getting a IMAP error.  How do I restore to a previous iCloud backup before this happened?

    It may be that the process you used to change the iCloud ID created these issues.  What I would suggest you do is the following:
    If you have any photo stream photos on your device that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into your iCloud account and check to confirm that your data is all there.
    Assuming your data is on icloud.com, go to Settings>iCloud on your device, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted.  This will only delete the account and your synced data from your device but not from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign back in with the correct iCloud ID and password and turn your iCloud data syncing preferences back on.  This will sync your iCoud data back to your device and recreate your iCloud email account.
    Try your Mail again and see if it works properly now.

  • I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

    You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone.  See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
    If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

  • I forgot my security questions and cant get the link to reset them by email

    I forgot my security questions and cant get the link to reset them by email.  Can someone help me?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

  • HOW DO I ADD ANOTHER EMAIL ADDRESS TO MY ITUNES.  WHEN A PURCHACE IS MADE SEND IT TO 2 EMAIL ADDRESSES

    Thank you so much for tolerating the confusion I created for myself. YEA
    About the "enter email address" ... gee, how did I think Firefox was going to be able to communicate with me?
    So... I go to the AOL mailbox, sign in as usual, the little box is coming down, and I click on save ... ah ha
    If I am on another computer, I will open Firefox ... enter the master password ... and move on as usual? ... because all this is on Firefox servers.
    Small confusion ... scenario ... I am to work on a computer without Firefox installed, and I may not install it. What do I do (say, to get on Yahoo mail) or anywhere else?
    Thank you many many times.

  • Another email address in using my imessage? (Instead of my appleid)

    Hi. Is it possible if I add another email address in using my imessage? (Instead of my appleid) thanks!

    Yes. I use three different emil addresses on my other devices instead of my Apple ID. You need to setup messages with your Apple ID and then you can add another email address to use instead to the Apple ID email.
    If you need help, watch this video.

  • I no longer use this current email address... but still want to use Thunderbird for another email address

    I tried to change this current email to another email address... with no luck... then I trashed the old email... and downloaded to set up another email address... with no luck... it kept going back to the old...
    Please assist..

    '''File|New|Existing Mail Account'''
    No menu? Press alt.
    Or right-click an existing account, select '''Settings''', and in the window that pops up, click '''Account Actions''' at the bottom, then '''Add Mail Account'''.
    Or press the button with three horizontal lines, hover the cursor over '''New Message''' (yes, really!) and select '''Existing Mail Account''' from the pop-up menu.
    Changing one account to another is rarely successful. Always better to add an account rather than modify an old one. That's how Thunderbird is designed to work.
