The reason is that google does NOT allow you to forward mail with the "spam" label. The solution is to implement two ordered filters. Since the only way to order gmail filters is by the order you create/edit them (the most recently added/updated filter is executed first), we need to create the 2nd filter that will execute first. https://www.spamtitan.com/anti-spam-tips/<br /><br />Filter to enter first (that will get executed 2nd):<br />1.) Enter "is:spam" into the "Has the words" textbox and click next.<br />2.) Then check the box to "Apply the label", and create a new label called something like "SPAM-MAIL".<br />3.)

Since you are forwarding this spam email to another account, there is a good chance you will not want to eep it in this gmail account.

The OP here talks about the "never send to spam" feature but says it does not work for forwarding all email. Even as recently as 21-Sep-2008, Jay Armstrong says above that it does not work for forwarding spam.<BR/><BR/>I've noticed a few very recent posts on the gmail help forums about new mail forwarding behaviour so I suspect that gmail have changed something re spam/forward ordering just recently. It seems a nice (intended?) feature of this change is that we can now use the "label:spam->never send to spam" trick to forward ALL email correctly to other acccounts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-8778651486721785572008-11-30T02:26:00.000-08:002008-11-30T02:26:00.000-08:00PS.

So I have set my gmail option to forward and delete. Now, with this label filter trick, I don't run the risk of occasional valid emails being caught in that account's spam filter. The spam and inbox remain empty. Only the trash fills on that account and that will be purged by gmail automatically. Spam mail is still correctly spam filtered on the target account.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I can't find mention of this issue and solution anywhere else on the web.
