    Retroactive e-mail forwarding software?


    Is there any e-mail client that will forward e-mails retroactively? As in its on a PC thats been turned off for the weekend, but as soon as you turn it ON on Monday morning, it will start forwarding the e-mails it received on Saturday/Sunday?

    It looks as if you could set up a couple of message filters on Thunderbird.

    E.g.
    1 to filter and move to a folder all messages you want to be forwarded
    2. a rule operating on that folder to forward the messages.

    You would then use those rules appropriately.

    Naturally if you wanted the forwarding to be to more than 1 address, you would need to repeat that.

    Just a suggestion.. not looked deeply into it.

    I tried ThunderBird 3 times, it stops working after 8-10 days!

    Suggest there's something amiss with your O/S or other software is interfering.
    It's fine for me on 2 PCs. If that was a general problem, many would be complaining.

    but it was on 3 different PC.s! well I guess I can try a 4th time, maybe 4th times the charm, so it will retroactively forward what ever is in said folder you say?

    Could be some common setting/unusual configuration/some program you have running on each...

    Check your Reliability History and Event Viewer.

    My build is 19045.3930
    I've run Tbird from Win 8..

    but I dont get it, I set it up, dont touch it, then 8-10 days later it just stops forwarding all together! And It never forwarded e-mails that where received when PC was off

    Oh.. I thought you meant Thunderbird was crashing...

    You mean you have forwarding set up using Tbird, but forwarding stops working after 8 days.

    You asked first if there was a client that could forward mail as you asked... which told me you didn't have one now... confusing!

    Couldn't you set up forwarding in the online interface to your email provider [such as Outlook.com] instead?


    All the best,
