#565 — Undoing copying gmail messages to another e-mail account

I have two e-mail accounts set up in Thunderbird. One is my main e-mail 
account, in a private domain, and the other is a gmail account. Both are 
IMAP.

When I first set up Thunderbird for e-mail, I set it so that a copy of 
all received gmail message also went to my main accounts inbox.

I've now decided that I don't like that, but I can't remember how I did 
it, so I cant figure out how to undo what I had done. Can someone help?

However note that what I said before about IMAP was wrong, The status 
IMAP is disabled. There's also the status POP is disabled.

Are you sure you are getting the 'full picture'?  That is, there is a 
slider; maybe your view of 'disable forwarding' is obscured.  You should 
be able to see the option disable forwarding even if you/one weren't 
currently forwarding.

I wonder how your Tb is getting its gmail if both pop & imap are disabled.

Something is wrong w/ your report.

Yes. Note that if I click on "Learn more," it says "Note: You can only 
set up forwarding on your computer, and not on the Gmail app."

I've looked for it in Thunderbird, but couldn't find it there.

It's not there.

It makes no sense to me either, but it says both: POP is disabled and 
IMAP is disabled.

When I said gmail webmail, I was referring to the google mail at 
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox

... not some phone app which I know little about.

Yes, that's what I understood you to mean.

But fortunately, I solved the problem. Thanks again.

You may have solved YOUR problem, but you didn't solve the puzzle 
(paradox) you have presented here.

The puzzle is: if your gmail *WEBMAIL* settings is not configured for 
you to pop or imap into your *computer* Tb app, how can it possibly get 
there?  (as you have reported)

The apparent answer is: I don't believe you have computer browser 
visited gmail webmail if your VIEW of whatever you are calling gmail 
webmail says:

> "Note: You can only set up forwarding on your computer, and not on the Gmail app." 

That looks to me like something a gmail app would say, not a computer 
browser visited gmail inbox settings.

Yes, I know, but I'm only mildly interested in the answer to that. More 
important to me is that it's now set up the way I want it.

Beats me, but as I said, I don't particularly care.

Agreed.  The situation appears to hinge on the 'gmail.com' demand to
deal with its requirements using a PC/Apple-launched browser, not a
mobile app.

That of course can be achieved on a mobile device, but not using the
app.

I'm trying to cover bases.

You need to add a forwarding address before the forwarding option
becomes available whether to enable or disable it.  Without adding a
forwarding e-mail address, the forwarding option is meaningless.

If you look at the forwarding settings, you'll also see the following
note: "Tip: You can also forward only some of your mail by creating a
filter!"  Well, some can mean all depending on how you define your
filter.  Do you have any filters defined in your Gmail account that
would effectively forward all new e-mails to your other account?

Besides using pushing via forwarding to get incoming e-mails to your
Gmail account to get delivered to your other account, you could
configure your other account to poll (pull) e-mails from your Gmail
account.  Go into your other account's web settings to see if you have
it polling your Gmail account for new e-mails at Gmail.

Some e-mail providers will suspend or kill an overly idle account.  They
measure idleness based on logins.  If you or a client has not logged
into an account for a long time, like for several months, they figure
you are no longer using that account, and instead of politely closing
the account you abandoned it.  They're looking for a login to check the
account is still active.  Using a forwarding option in an account is
just sending e-mails to the other account, so that's not logging in.
Using polling to pull new e-mails is logging in: the client, even a
webmail client, that polls another account has to log into the other
account, and why you have to provide the login credentials for the other
account.  I use Gmail's polling feature to keep alive a few other
accounts that are kept in reserve; else, they would expire due to
non-use.  Pulling requires login.  Pushing does not.

You can push (forward) using Gmail to your other account.  Or you can
pull (poll) your Gmail by your other account.  Push only requires an
e-mail address for forwarding new e-mails to another account.  Pull
requires the login credentials of the other account; however, pull would
require your Gmail account be enabled for POP or IMAP access, or both
since the other account or your client needs to login via those
protocols into Gmail to pull from there.

Then the only way to access your Gmail e-mails is to use their webmail
interface.  Thunderbird does not support the Gmail API for access to a
Gmail account (https://developers.google.com/gmail/api)*.  It only
supports POP and IMAP.  Since you disabled access using those protocols
only supported by Thunderbird, it cannot access your Gmail account.

* I haven't bothered to investigate if any extension would add Gmail API 
  support to Thunbderbird.

Are you saying your web settings for Gmail under gear -> See all
settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP are the following?

Forwarding: disabled
and
POP: disabled
IMAP: disabled

That means your Gmail account is not forwarding new e-mails via SMTP to
send anywhere else.  You say push is disabled.  It also means no client
can poll your Gmail account using POP or IMAP.  You say pull is
disabled.  Thunderbird doesn't support Gmail API.  Forwarding, push or
pull, or the API are the only methods I know of for Gmail.

Some mobile e-mail apps support the Gmail API (e.g., Gmail app, MS
Outlook app, others).  I suppose you could have a Gmail API capable
client or e-mail service polling your Gmail account and then forward the
new e-mails to your other account.  That is, you could employ an
intermediary to transfer the e-mails.  Since fowarding, pop, and imap
are disabled in your Gmail account, the only access method I know of is
the Gmail API (a lighter weight access method than IMAP).

I have no filters set on the GMail web site that I know of. I don't even 
know how to set them there.

I can't find any such settings there.

What you say makes perfect sense, but I'm reporting what's happening.

It doesn't say "disabled." It just gives me the choice to add a 
forwarding address

Yes.

Yes.

Nevertheless, Thunderbird is getting the gmail messages to me in both 
the gmail account and my main e-mail account.

I also have both e-mail accounts set up with Outlook (Office 365) on my 
Android phone, but I can't find what you suggest there.

I think I just found it! There was a filter set for gmail in 
Thunderbird. I just disabled it, and I'll see what happens.

That was it. I sent myself a message from the main account to gmail. It 
showed up in gmail, but not the main account.

Thanks to all of you who tried to help, especially Vanguard who pointed 
me almost in the right direction.

You aren't confusing the linked inbox folder (or All Inbox or Unified
Inbox) to perceive the e-mails there as listed in every account?  That's
just a global folder linking the inboxes from multiple accounts as a
convenience for viewing all e-mails in all accounts.

The Unified Inbox view is a really old feature back to 2014, or earlier.
View menu -> Folders -> Unified.

The MS Outlook app on Android supports the Gmail API.  However, it would
show new e-mails in the Gmail account you defined in the Outlook app.
It would not mix or copy them to the other account you defined in the
Outlook app -- unless you defined some rules to have the app send the
new e-mails received in the Gmail account to the other account.  Alas, I
see no rules or settings in the MS Outlook app for Android that would
transfer e-mails from one account to another.  Android email apps tend
to be extremely basic.  MS probably assumes if you want to use rules
that you would define server-side rules in your MS account, not in a
local app.  

I didn't see anything that blared forwarding or rules in the Gmail app
(bundled with Android), but I don't use that e-mail app.  I suspect they
also assume you do forwarding or rules defined in your Gmail account,
not in a local app.

Oh, and both those Android apps also support a unified inbox view.

...

UPDATE:

I see in your later reply that you found the problem was with a
client-side filter you defined in Thunderbird.  I had focused on
server-side filters since those will exercise when new e-mails arrive,
not when you happen to get around to loading your local e-mail client
(Thunderbird) to then let it run its own filters.  If a filter (rule)
can be defined on the server (which means the filter conditions and
actions are robust enough to warrant using server-side rules), I prefer
to use server-side filters.  Less work for the local client.  For push
(forwarding) or using filters to resend new e-mails to another account,
makes more sense to have the server do that instead of the client.

Glad you figured out it was Tbird doing the e-mail transfer between
accounts via filters in Tbird.

No, I wasn't. I didn't even know about that choice, but I just turned it 
on to see if I like it.

Does this sentence mean (by way of implication) that you get your gmail 
in Tb; or do you get your gmail in webmail, but you get your main 
accounts mail in Tb?

I assumed that since you were 'setting up Tb' that the sentence meant 
that you were getting your gmail in Tb (and also getting your gmail in 
your main accounts).

You are receiving your gmail in Tb, therefore you MUST have enabled pop 
or imap in gmail.  It might not be imap, but if it isn't, it is surely pop.

That makes perfect sense, but I'm reporting what it says.
