How do I send a copy of an email (CC) using message filters?

more options

I have recently discovered "Message filters" and they are amazing.

I want to automatically forward specific incoming emails to 3 email addresses (2 should be addressed directly and the third should be CC'd) in the same email

For example I received a message from example@gmail.com, I would like to forward it to myEmail1@gmail.com, myEmail2@gmail.com, while having myEmail3@gmail.com CC'd all in the same mail.

I have managed to send it to all 3, but failed to CC the third one (it is sent directly)

For incoming mail, you could create filters for each account (Tools/Message Filters) that forward messages to the gmail account. But these would work only when TB is / was running.

The more common approach is to set the target account to collect mail from other accounts, in this case through the gmail webmail settings.

For outgoing mail, you could have the two accounts CC messages to the gmail account, in Tools/Account Settings, Copies & Folders.

Dear День сумо,

Thank you for your response!

That works only if I want to CC the gmail account for all outgoing mail, which is not exactly what was intended. I wanted to CC an account only if the filters apply to some incoming messages.
