| Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/16/12 6:50 AM | Hi, I am now unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters. I had no issues until 10 Apr when I stopped receiving emails forwarded using the Gmail forwarding filters. I am able to see the incoming email in the Gmail Inbox but unable to recei |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | wdurham | 4/16/12 9:08 AM | The it would seem that one of your other filters is grabbing mail and doing something else with it before your forwarding filter gets to it. |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/16/12 7:14 PM | Hi, wdurham - it was working all the while and I have no other filters. It just suddenly stopped working... |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/16/12 7:18 PM | I just did a test. By creating a Google Group, all update emails were received by the forwarded addresses. However, sending an email to the Gmail account does not work... Could it be a bug that was introduced recently? |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | wdurham | 4/16/12 11:54 PM | So let's recap a little to make sure I am correctly understanding you. It seems you have one main GMail account set up to receive mail, and you are forwarding that mail to 20 different forwarding addresses using filters - i.e. 20 other accounts. Is t |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | canakkaleolay | 4/17/12 4:39 AM | Same here. A few days ago my filters suddenly stopped forwarding emails to other accounts and the issue still persists. Is it possible to have an official answer on this forum? |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/17/12 3:16 PM | Hi wdurham, you have described my process very accurately! As to your last question, the filter only forwards the email. The main Gmail account keeps all the mail in the Inbox. So I can see all the incoming email (to the main account) but did not rec |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | wdurham | 4/17/12 11:59 PM | Firstly, then, are all your 20 forwarding addresses failing to receive forwarded mail, or is it just your own account? If it's all of them, try an experiment. Two forwarding filters work. So instead of adding back all twenty, add them back a pair a |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/18/12 5:47 AM | Hi durham, yes - all fail to receive the forwarded email. As for your experiment, I have thought of that before - but that means I have to tell all my recipients of the test emails and it is also tedious work for me... but will find time to try. As t |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | wdurham | 4/19/12 4:03 AM | Well, the system works - or two addresses would fail as well as all 20. I will ask around and see if there are any other ideas on this. |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/19/12 6:57 AM | Hi Wendy, I just did another round of tests and realized that the forwarding filters totally does not work anymore. I guess I must have made a mistake in my earlier tests. So I can conclude that the forwarding filter is not working totally. I have an |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | bkennelly | 4/19/12 8:24 AM | What criteria do you use in the filters? |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/20/12 4:29 AM | I used the "from:(*)" criteria. It has been working all the while and it works for my other Gmail account using the same filter. |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/20/12 7:41 PM | Can someone from Google please help? Otherwise, I will have no choice but to use another mail service provider... |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/20/12 7:47 PM | Will really appreciate from response from Google. I don't know why Google does not allow me to contact the Helpdesk. But this is already a few days and I am honestly disappointed at the lack of response from Google. |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | bkennelly | 4/20/12 9:06 PM | That may be part of your problem. Gmail search does not support wildcards, and Google have not defined what "*" will match, so the results are unpredictable, and subject to change at any time. You can even get different results in different accounts, |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | chriseow | 4/21/12 11:45 PM | Hi Brian Your suggestions worked! Thanks for the advice. Have now modified to use the filter to forward only if the message does not contain the word 'xyzabc`' (included the ` to make it even more unlikely to happen. :-) |
| Re: Unable to receive emails forwarded using Gmail filters | canakkaleolay | 4/27/12 2:29 AM | Thank you! -xyzabc worked out nicely... |
