I have a Google Apps email ([email protected]) set to auto-forward all mail to my personal Gmail ([email protected]). I have added the [email protected] address to my personal Gmail so I can send mail as [email protected] from within my personal email account. It's a fairly common way to consolidate email accounts.
Here's my problem. I want [email protected] to filter all emails being forwarded from [email protected] and apply the Business label. So I tried it two different ways:
A) Use an Alias:
- [email protected] forward to [email protected]
- Create filter "To:[email protected]" in me@gmail account
- Have filter apply Business label
B) Use Googlemail.com address:
- [email protected] forward to [email protected]
- Create filter "To:[email protected]" in me@gmail account
- Have filter apply Business label
However, neither of these filters work. I've tested it using a third email address, [email protected]. Whenever I send an email from [email protected] to [email protected], the email is properly forwarded to [email protected], and I can reply to [email protected] using the [email protected] 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 [email protected] DIRECTLY to [email protected] or [email protected], the filter works properly and applies the label.
So there must be something going on with the forwarding of [email protected] to [email protected].
Does anyone know how to get this working?
