How do I forward mail after filter?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it greatly. I am using a blackberry. I am also using Apple Mail. I need to be able to do one of the two following things:

  1. After Mail runs my rules and filters my email, I need to be able to create a rule that tells Mail to forward all email that is NOT junk to a specified email address

or

  1. After Mail runs my rules and filters my email into different mailboxes, I need to be able to have Mail auto forward all email that filter into certain mailboxes.

Thanks for any help,

Just in case, I might as well ask: Is there any reason you can’t have it forward each message as it determines that the message is good, or destined for a particular folder?

For example, you could setup a rule that says:

if To: contains “myfriend@wherever.com”
Then
Move message to mailbox: Friends
Redirect message to “myblackberry@wherever.com”

(Redirect is much better than forward as it preserves the original sender and doesn’t add the funky forward marks in the subject and email body.)

No Applescript needed. Does that help at all?

cfoster is correct. if you setup a rule properly “Mail” can do what you want.
However, the following subtlty applies, once an incoming message is “moved” to a specific mail box the application of rules “stops” therefore I would construct the rule as follows:

If To: contains “myfriend@wherever.com” Then
Redirect message to “myblackberry@wherever.com”
Move message to mailbox: Friends
