[QUOTE="manodav, post: 1420041, member: 259743"] Just acquired an iPad and sync'd my 3 mails accounts - 2 on Bigpond and gmail. Big problem arose - my rules for spam created in Mail on my Macbook don't apply to messages received on my iPad, and I am being inundated with spam on my one Bigpond account which is successfully filtered on my Macbook. I want to retain my Bigpond email address, and I was told that I can overcome the problem by creating a new rule on my Macbook to automatically forward all my incoming Bigpond emails to my gmail address, which would mean that the Macbook mail rules would continue to filter out the spam on receipt of the bigpond emails, and forward filtered messages to gmail, which I would then pick up in the gmail a/c on my ipad. I tried creating the forwarding rule, but it just does not work, and I would highly appreciate any help to sort this out. 1. Should I remove the 2 Bigpond a/c's from my iPad, and leave just the gmail a/c? 2. What should the forwarding rule on my Macbook Mail be? 3. With such an automatic forwarding rule in my Macbook Mail, will the incoming Bigpond mail messages be forwarded to my gmail a/c even if my Macbook is asleep or switched off? 4. Will the Bigpond emails still arrive in my Macbook Inbox to allow me to move one's I want to file in the Macbook mailboxes? :Confused: [/QUOTE]
