I have a Google Apps email (me@business.com) set to auto-forward all mail to my personal Gmail (me@gmail.com). I have added the me@business.com address to my personal Gmail so I can send mail as me@business.com from within my personal email account. It's a fairly common way to consolidate email accounts.
Here's my problem. I want me@gmail.com to filter all emails being forwarded from me@business.com and apply the Business label. So I tried it two different ways:
A) Use an Alias:
- me@business.com forward to me+business@gmail.com
- Create filter "To:me+business@gmail.com" in me@gmail account
- Have filter apply Business label
B) Use Googlemail.com address:
- me@business.com forward to me@googlemail.com
- Create filter "To:me@googlemail.com" in me@gmail account
- Have filter apply Business label
However, neither of these filters work. I've tested it using a third email address, me@yahoo.com. Whenever I send an email from me@yahoo.com to me@business.com, the email is properly forwarded to me@gmail.com, and I can reply to me@yahoo.com using the me@business.com address. But Gmail does NOT apply the Business label. This is case using either filtering method A or B.
But if I send an email from me@yahoo.com DIRECTLY to me+business@gmail.com or me@googlemail.com, the filter works properly and applies the label.
So there must be something going on with the forwarding of me@business.com to me@gmail.com.
Does anyone know how to get this working?
