Mail Backup
Authored by: schneb on Dec 07, '04 01:55:19PM

Here is what I do...

In Mail, I have a filter setup that states basically, "Anthing that goes to my inbox, send a copy to my gMail account". With the automatic download of new mail, my gMail gets a copy via the filter. The advantage of this is I can see my home mail on the Web and have a backup copy on the gMail server. If I forget a piece of information from a past email, I can do a Google search throught the archive.

Very handy.

Can you further explain in detail how you did this?
I am quite familiar with the Mail.app, but just learning Gmail.
Thanks!
