Email Filters

One of the filter options is "Send Notification"  but it actually just forwards the email and does not leave a copy in the mailbox.

I would like  to send a notification my#@txt.att.net but still have the email in my inbox.

Any way I can do this?

Hey 44kebeck, if you want a copy of the message you send there's an option to save sent messages that would leave a copy in the sent folder when selected under mail options.

Pulling my reply from this thread, as I feel it may be what  you're looking for:

An important note: if you set your verizon.net email to forward, it will NOT keep a copy of the message on the verizon.net site. It is possible to set this up with your verizon.net address, but it requires the use of filters.


After some trial and error, this is the way that I've found to make this work with a verizon.net address successfully. You have to set up 2 filters.


Filter 1:

If To or CC matches yourusername@verizon.net then automatically move to folder: Inbox


This seems redundant, but this is how you get it to keep a copy of the message in your verizon.net inbox. Replace "yourusername" with your actual verizon.net username.


Filter 2:

If To or CC matches yourusername@verizon.net then automatically send notification to ##########@vtext.com


This sends the message to your vtext account. Replace "##########" with your VZW number.


BOTH of these filters have to be set up for you to get a copy both places.

Obviously you'll put the att info in instead of the vtext address, but it should work the same way. You can also change the criteria if you don't want every message to send a notification. Hope this helps!
