Gmail – Send a copy of outbound messages to another address

gmailgmail-filters

Is there a way to have a copy of any message sent from a Gmail account sent to another address?

I've got any messages coming to my address copied to another (see this question for one solution, setting up filters is another), but I haven't yet found a way to have outbound messages automatically copied.

Is there a way?

Set up a filter to apply a label to all your outgoing mail (From: yourID@gmail.com gets the label "outgoing") NOT under filters, but under forwarding, enable the forwarding of all mail to the single targeted address.

Restrictions:

If you try to do this solely using filters, the forwarding will not happen. You must enable forwarding of all mail to the intended recipient (the "manager") from the forwarding tab. You can't forward to multiple addresses this way unless you use the primary recipient address to then split the mail into many destinations. All mail both incoming and outgoing will be forwarded.
