is it possible to create a rule based on an auto-forwarded email - not sure if EMC allows this?
If it does I can’t get the right syntax in the rule to move incoming emails into a local subfolder.
In the EMC inbox interestingly to the non-techy eye, I can’t see anything that says the email is auto-forwarded. I see FROM: as the unknown third party email sender; TO: is my email account russell.blake@…the original email provider from where I’ve just set up the auto-forward (the other device I was reading these on isn’t working). So I can deduce it’s auto-forwarded. But I don’t see my main email address anywhere obvious, i.e. to where the other provider is autoforwarding. So I can’t seem to write a rule to capture this.
I can’t write a rule based on emails sent to me, where I specify the to email address
Neither can I write one based on from, as that would be all my third party senders on the face of it, so that doesn’t make sense!
(Basic rules work for me; and I tried one sender in this auto-forwarding scenario and my modified new rule moved their one email after it had been auto-forwarded to my new content-related subfolder, but I can’t list all senders in the rule).
Hello Gary, thanks for that. This was one of the permutations I tried for myself. I’ve now set up a new rule but the unread forwarded emails remain sitting in my Inbox. Even if I re-run the rules, as I’ve done successfully previously for other ones, nothing moves to the nominated local subfolder. So it’s not working! Not so urgent to fix now, as my other device is working again, thought it would take longer but would be good to understand what’s not correct here. Thanks
Ok, so I made a typo in my own email address! So have now set up the rule again. But it doesn’t move anything to the subfolder I’ve listed. (I have other rules that do this successfully) The address in the email header, is as per my corrected TO address in the rule.
