Gmail – How to Add a Banner to a Forwarded Email

gmail

I have a few infrequently used Gmail accounts which forward on to another account which is regularly monitored.

When these infrequently used accounts receive emails and forward them on, I can get very similar looking emails which actually come from different addresses yet look at a very quick glance to be duplicates which is mildly annoying.

Is there any easy way to add a banner or prefix the subject line for example to say "this originated from…" or something along those lines?

I know there are banners which are added to emails identifying that the email originated outside a domain or a warning about containing viruses etc. but I'm guessing this is a feature of the local server so was wondering whether there was anything that could be done with Gmail.

Your best option is.

Using labels in your monitoring/master account

Steps:

  1. Go to Settings -->Filters and create a new filter by adding the email in the To field.

  1. Create a new label for the accounts like: email01

  1. Repeat above steps for any number of email accounts.

The downside is that when emails are sent to a list you have no recipient.
