Well, even if you are able to forward account B to gmail account A, Google may decide to reject a portion of those at SMTP time, so the "solution" is to point account A to *also* fetch the emails from B through POP, so they end up downloaded in that other way. Corporate version does have an option to trust a sender MTA as part of your organization (at the org level, I think), but normal users have to use this kind of duct tape. For extra fun: Gmail will also perform "SPF checks" on those POP- downloaded mails and decide on whether they are spam or not based on the (sometimes quite wrong) IP addresses it guesses… _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
