Gmail Filters – How to Forward Mail When Not CCed

gmailgmail-filters

I have a client who often forgets to CC my boss. I'd like to set up a Gmail filter that detects when he isn't in the To/CC fields for e-mails from this client and forwards a copy to him.

Is this possible using Gmail's filters?

You can use the - minus symbol to specify NOT and you can put miltiple arguments simply by separating them with a space.

Create a filter with the following:

FROM: client@company.com TO: me@email.com -boss@email.com

The above filter will return emails that are from client@company.com, have been mailed to me@email.com but have NOT been mailed to boss@email.com.

Now you just need to set that filter to auto-forward to you boss' email address
