Hi!

I presumed that the settings for copies to self when sending works for both replies and forwards, but I just discovered that it only works for replies. That is NOT satisfactory, and not logical - if you ask me.

I think it worked until about 2 years ago, when Thunderbird was seriously damaged by "updates", and has not yet recovered fully...

I have attached an anonymized screenshot of the "Place a copy in" settings. The sending email address is behind 3 of the erased areas. Only "Bcc these" is different.

Any solution would be appreciated. Thank you.

Forwarding a message does get saved in the selected folder. From your screenshot, you appear to want messages saved in the inbox. There may be some technical issues on that, especially if for IMAP.

I use POP, not IMAP.

And getting the copy to self of forwarded emails in the inbox is not a problem on my other account - on the same server - which has exactly the same settings, except for the email address being slightly different. ;-)
