Important notes
- Make sure to replace
sent
with the actual name of your Sent box or folder, if it's different. - Be cautious when setting up filters, as they can affect your email workflow. You may want to test the filter before applying it to all emails.
- If you're forwarding emails to a Gmail account, ensure that the account is set up to receive emails from your email provider's domain (e.g., outlook.com or yahoo.com).
