How to auto-forward--not send a copy--in Fastmail?
I want to have a Fastmail email that forwards all incoming emails to another email address. But when I create a rule to "send a copy," it sends the email on as if it came from the original sender. I want it to arrive at the target email address as if it came from my Fastmail email address--just as if I manually forwarded it.
I have tried a bit in Sieve but am brand new to this and am not sure how to do it (or if it is even possible). EDIT: I definitely need all attachments to be forwarded along with the body text of the email. |

Manually: The "From:" field is from the forwarding email address. Like in every email program I've ever used. Auto: The "From:" field is from the original email address. Which I've never seen before Fastmail. In fact, the autoforwarding behavior strikes me as kind of odd. So if John invites me to a party without addressing me by name and I have it autoforwarded to Bob, it will seem to Bob that John wrote him directly, inviting him. |

Assuming the stuff you quoted is what you actually are seeing I'm curious where you are seeing it using app.fastmail.com web UI (or in the case of the iPhone at least, the FM app)? The wording you mention for creating rules in the FM UI does not match what I see. Also the only forwarding option is "Send a copy to" not "Forward to email address" and an "Advanced" to allow a "Send as". Because the UI doesn't have a "send as" was the reason the OP started this thread. |

FWIW I think the OP also posted their question to reddit in r/fastmail. |
The post in question has since been deleted by a moderator, but suspecting that they would do that, I took a screenshot:

My question was legitimate and you solved it for me. I just logged back on here after a few weeks, and just wanted you to know. Thank you again! |
