You are correct, while you can create unlimited filters, it turns out that only 20 of them can be forwarded to other email addresses (via http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answ… )

It appears that you can only forward to a single email address when creating a filter, so it does not look like it is possible to send to a group or multiple addresses in the single field.

there´s a workaround that kind of works by using google groups

This will only forward messages sent directly to you. This will not forward mailing lists, or BCC messages.

To forward all messages, put * as the To: field.

I have tried to put "*" and the email account's email address in the To: field but I am not getting anything forwarded. Any ideas on how to fix?

Yes the process is the same when forwarding to any address, not just Gmail.

[...] in forwarding email, you may want to set this forwarding rule up on a Gmail address – just set up two filters to forward your messages… one to forward to your phone, and one to forward to your regular email [...]

is there a way i can forward to more than 20 email addresses, i need

Thanks Evan, great tip!!

Thanks Evan, great tip!!

Is there a way to “hide recipients” so that others will not be able to see email addresses? I don't like forwarding to multiple recipients when those addresses are available for others to use. Is there a setting or way to hide them?

Almost perfect but with the new policy isn’t good enough for me

Can this be done for more than 30 addresses??

Unfortunately, no. Google does specify that you can combine filters to forward more emails to the same address: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6579&topic=1540

I’ve been having an issue with this and am looking for a solution. I’ve used the filter in the from field as “@” as well as the to field being the current account. For some reason it only forwards to the first two addresses but not the other 3. Any reason why it would do this? All filters are the same except for forwarding addresses

its not working for me! i have no idea why!

Thanks, Evan – great work around. I appreciate the post! – Lurene

Thanks for your tips !

It wasn’t working for me, either. Then, I read a google article that explained that if you’re sending a message from a gmail account and your filter forwards to another gmail account, gmail will make the message bypass your inbox and go straight to your “All Mail” folder (where you probably won’t see it). So, send your test message from a non-gmail account. Hope that helps.

Great find, Matt. Thanks for posting.

Put “deliveredto:youraddress@gmail.com” into the “Has the words:” field when you create a filter. That should always match any message you receive, whether your address was on the To: line, the Bcc: line, or the Cc: line.
An alternative: Some people say that putting “@” in the “From:” field when you create a filter also matches any message, but I haven’t tried that.

It does not work anymore, not for me. I mean forwarding thru filters. 

How do I forward an e-mail to a group, without a recipients knowing that it was sent to others. In other words, how to eliminate multiple names on top that show who else received the same mail?   

I have tried this with Google groups using six forwarding addresses.  It seems that only one address is used as a filter forward and that is the last email address selected to forward of the six.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

I don´t even know how to forward a mail message to one person, never mind multiple people. How??

Easier to use the ‘Doesn’t have:’ field, input some impossible text (e.g Doesn’t have:AppleAppleApple) and set it to forward when the mail doesn’t have that text.

Thanks Evan, just what I needed

If you try to forward emails to more than one gmail account this doesn’t work. It only works for the first gmail address. I don’t know if this is something google wants to limit or if it is a bug.

Such an amazing way to do this. Thanks for sharing.

This doesn’t work.

Thank you very much for your post! I didn’t find this simple solution by myself

simply use comma between two address: exampl@com,example2@com

Thanks,

It works.

Thanks a lot, it saved me.

This works but each email has to authenticate by putting the code in the email into the gmail settings for the account
