Hi,
I'm trying to make up some rules to track all mail that I'm receiving and sending to a Group in my Address Book. I managed to make up a rule that sends a copy of all mail I RECEIVE from this group to a special folder. Now I would like to send a copy of all the mail I SEND to this group into that folder as well.... but I can't figure out how to set a rule to do that. If you are making a rule that says if such and such conditions are met
and then you choose "To" .. there is no choice of picking "group" on the next selection. The choices are ..
( contains, does not contain, begins with etc.)

I also picked "to" because there is no choice of "recipients" it is all sender choices ...
Is anyone doing this that can tell me how they did it?

Thanks ....

Won't something like this work for you?

Thanks!

I'll give that a try and report back to you .....

Well, I tried it .. but it didn't work ..

I would imagine that just putting in the group name is not enough .. do you have to enter each email address in the group? There doesn't seem to be a way of doing that.

Thanks for the suggestion though ... any other ideas?

I am beginning to suspect you can only have rules on incoming mail, not outgoing.

You can select the item in composing preferences to "Always CC: myself" and then set up a rule to deal with mail sent to yourself and to certain people...

Try using "Contains" instead of "Is equal to."

This should now work, and no you don't have to put in each email address so long as the emails are all going to the same company. For example, if your group is Fedex Personnel (and their addresses are Name@Fedex.com), just put To > Contains > Fedex

That should fix whatever problem ur having.

That seems the most logical as you are dealing with incoming mail. All selections in rules I believe are for incoming mail only ... that's what Apple help says in Mail anyway.
