Endless loop in "After sending" message filter with "Forward Message to" action (TB 38.1.0)

Hi!

For an IMAP account I set up a message filter and checked only the "After Sending" checkbox. I apply it to "Match all messages" and perform the action "Forward Message to" another e-mail address. Unfortunately as soon as I send a message, Thunderbird forwards it not once but multiple times, i.e. in an endless loop; this goes on until I close Thunderbird. Adding a "Stop Filter Execution" action after forward does not help either.

Any help is welcome!

Perfect! Thank you very much! Looks like "isn't" works fine here also if I have multiple to addresses, so I don't need "doesn't contain" for that case. Is this correct?

I just wonder why you dont set it up under account/ settings / copies and folders "when sending a message... bcc your address.

Mainly to prevent accidental deletion of the Bcc field.

Just a thought thou. Your forwarded mails will show up in SENT as new mails. Manually running the filter would probably send every sent mail including forwarded once again to your folder.

I cant see why you need to guard against accidental deletion of the Bcc field. If its your account.

Ok, you are right, I will stick to the Bcc field. Thank you.
