Dear Thunderbird support team,

I wanted to set up a filter sending a copy of e-mails from a particular sender to another e-mail address (within the same company) but I did not find such an option. There is only a possibility of forwarding the e-mail to another address.

Would it be possible to add it in the next release please?

Thank you.

Wishing you the best of luck,

Hi,

Thanks for a fast reply and links. However, I need to send a copy AND keep the original incoming e-mail in the inbox as well. Is it possible with this add-on?

Thank you.

Lenka

The add-on has an option to 'Save message copy to Sent folder', or you can add a filter action that invokes "Move to ..." or "Copy to..." (see picture).

Hello,

I have tried the filter and it works, thanks a lot!

The name of the filter (Redirect) is a bit misleading though. I would imagine that redirecting is sending the mail to another recipient without keeping it. Naming it "Send a copy to" would express it better I guess...

Have a great day and thanks once again!
