I have two Gmail accounts: my normal Gmail account (me@gmail.com
), and an account for my school that is hosted through Gmail (me@school.edu
).
I get lots of emails on both accounts, and some people send me emails in multiple contexts (friends that I work with). I have all emails from me@school.edu
automatically forward to me@gmail.com
, so that I have a single point of searching and archiving and don't always have to swap back and forth between accounts to do some basic things. In me@gmail.com
, I try to filter all of these forwarded emails in my School
label and then archive them from my inbox.
This runs into a problem when the email that goes to me@school.edu
does not include my direct email, like for mailing lists or some forms of bcc. Gmail forwards the email with the original from (sender@school.edu
) and to (list@school.edu
or otherlist@groups.aol.com
), and so it ends up unread in my me@gmail.com
inbox.
How can I change either the to:
address on the forwards to me@gmail.com
OR the from:
address to me@school.edu
, so that I can set up a filter that works in all situations?
Best Answer
I believe you want the
deliveredto:
search operator.Gmail advanced search
You should be able to replace your
to:me@school.edu
filter withhas the words: deliveredto:me@school.edu
. That should catch mailing lists and such.
