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 have't yet found a way to have outbound messages automatically copied.

Is there a way?

You can try setting the forwarding rule for the condition from:me but I've never tried it before. – dnbrv Mar 12 '12 at 0:31
A from:me filter doesn't work (just tried it), probably because the filters are triggered on inbound messages. – Al Everett Mar 12 '12 at 13:17

Agreed, it doesn't work. – Doug Harris Mar 12 '12 at 14:19
Would be nice to be save/send a copy via the gmail interface. The easiest way might be to use the bcc field. It'd be a pain to type in a new address all the time, but that method would work. – JW8 Mar 12 '12 at 16:56

There is no way in gmail to auto-forward sent emails to another account.

An option might be to use a mail client to drag and drop your sent mail from one account to another (or to batch forward). I'm sure with the right plugin for Thunderbird you could auto forward particular folders

I made a php library to just do that : fog

You just have to copy the files on a web server, customize the use.php file and call your page from cron or from a webcron like mywebcron

Folder name part from $hostname variable has to be customized as well to match you inbox name.

Since my question was a few months before the other, I think the other would be the duplicate. But thanks for pointing me to the answer. – Doug Harris Oct 29 '12 at 17:24
you are right, so I put the answer here – Ka. Oct 30 '12 at 22:03
