How to always move mail from update to primary account

To always move mail from the "Update" account to the "Primary" account, you can set up a rule in your email client or use a third-party email management tool. Here are some steps to help you achieve this:

Method 1: Using a Rule in Your Email Client

  1. Open your email client (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail).
  2. Go to the "Rules" or "Filters" section (the exact location may vary depending on your email client).
  3. Create a new rule by clicking on "New Rule" or "Create a New Filter".
  4. Set the condition to "From" and select the "Update" account.
  5. Set the action to "Move" and select the "Primary" account.
  6. Save the rule.

Method 2: Using a Third-Party Email Management Tool

  1. Install an email management tool like SaneBlackHole, Sanebox, or Boomerang.
  2. Configure the tool to monitor your "Update" account.
  3. Set up a rule to move emails from the "Update" account to the "Primary" account.

Method 3: Using a Script or Automation Tool

  1. Use a scripting language like Python or PowerShell to create a script that monitors your "Update" account and moves emails to the "Primary" account.
  2. Schedule the script to run at regular intervals using a task scheduler like Windows Task Scheduler or cron job.

Example Python Script

Here's an example Python script that uses the imaplib and smtplib libraries to connect to your email accounts and move emails:

import imaplib
import smtplib
import email

# Set up your email accounts
update_account = '[email protected]'
primary_account = '[email protected]'
update_password = 'update_password'
primary_password = 'primary_password'

# Connect to the Update account
update_conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
update_conn.login(update_account, update_password)
update_conn.select('inbox')

# Connect to the Primary account
primary_conn = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
primary_conn.login(primary_account, primary_password)
primary_conn.select('inbox')

# Search for emails in the Update account
update_conn.search(None, 'ALL')

# Move emails to the Primary account
for num in update_conn.search()[1]:
    update_conn.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')
    raw_email = update_conn.fetch(num, '(RFC822)')[0][1]
    email_message = email.message_from_bytes(raw_email)
    primary_conn.append('inbox', email_message.as_string())

# Close the connections
update_conn.close()
update_conn.logout()
primary_conn.close()
primary_conn.logout()

Note: This script is just an example and may require modifications to work with your specific email accounts and setup.

Remember to always follow best practices for email security and privacy when automating email tasks.
