This seems like a fairly obvious thing but I can't figure out how to do it and am hoping one of your geniuses can help me out!
We have a Gmail email account and then a ticket system that checks that account and sends an auto-reply to the sender saying that the email was received. This is checked via POP3 but can also be done via IMAP if necessary.
What I want is this: For certain messages, I'd like to file them immediately in Gmail and have them go to a special folder and have them NOT be checked by the ticket system. That's all.
I tried creating a filter in Gmail to move them, skip the inbox, mark as read, all of that. They still get picked up by the ticket system.
I thought POP3 only checked the INBOX on any server, so I expected that if I skipped the inbox then it would not be accessible. This doesn't seem to be the case.
Please let me know if there are any tricks I can do.
Thank you so much!

The problem that you are running into is that when connecting to GMail via POP3, you are actually accessing the "All Mails" folder and not the Inbox, so filtering the messages does not remove them from the list presented to your client via POP3.
Switching to IMAP should solve this problem, however, since you'd be able to open whatever folder you wanted.

My Django website has several forms which users fill out and when they submit them an e-mail is sent to my email address. This works when I use my Hotmail address as the receiving address, but not when I use my Outlook email address (the address I'd like to use). I also tried another Outlook address and it worked. So it's just my Outlook that's not receiving them. The Outlook address is also the sending address.
I have no idea why my Outlook address won't receive e-mails from my website, yet it receives e-mails sent from other sources. It displays no error messages so I really have nothing to go off. I have Googled a lot but can't find exactly what I'm looking for.
I know my question is vague, but I'm hoping someone can at least point me in the right direction or give me something to look into, because there are no error messages or anything for me to go off. I have also been through the settings in Outlook and can't find anything that would be blocking it.
PS I didn't include any code as I really don't know how it would help, though I can if you think it would be useful.
Thank you.
Have you checked your SPAM/JUNK folder. This might be possible that emails are getting delivered to your SPAM folder instead of INBOX.
Check your Firewall Settings might be your Firewall is creating the problem.

I am hosting the email for one of my domains at Gmail. I then run an IMAP client on my local computer to read and send email. Totally standard.
I now want to move the hosting for that domain to another email provider, where I will again run an IMAP client to deal with the mail.
Question: What happens to all the messages that are currently on Gmail? I THINK that they will stay in place, and I'll be able to access them via gmail.com and/or a Gmail app. But maybe not? Maybe Gmail will somehow find out about the MX change and decide that it should delete them all, because Reasons. Or it can't find the messages on its own server because the MX has changed, and so won't let me see them. Or something. In any case, losing access to these old messages would be Very Bad.
So, which is it? Will the world behave the way that I'm 99% sure that it will, such that I'll still be able to go to gmail.com and read the old messages after the switch? Or do I need to move the old messages somewhere else before making the hosting switch? Thanks for helping with my paranoia!
Google doesn't care what domain you use to route emails towards your Gmail inbox. If you change your domain to use another email provider, you will still have your existing Gmail inbox, until you shut down your Gmail account. So any existing emails in your Gmail inbox will be left untouched.
The same goes for any other hosting provider.
The problem is：
I used to have a xxx#shaw.ca accounts and have some important emails stored locally using Outlook. Right now, I am switching to another ISP, which means I can't access the old email server any more. Can I restore my old emails into another account（like gmail) or just let them show in the outlook UI?
THANK YOU for any help or hints.
If your new ISP gives you IMAP access you can easily move your email.
If you haven't yet done, configure an account with IMAP. How to do that depends on your ISP.
For gmail you should follow this Google guide.
Suppose your new ISP is Gmail.
Once you've done that, you would probably create a new folder to store your emails.
You can now select all your local emails that you want to copy/move and drag&drop into your newly folder.
Wait until it finish the copy (time depends on how fast is your connection and how heavy are all your emails).
You're done!
I have set up several email accounts on my vps hosting but I can't receive any emails that are send via php from another hosting. Everything works fine when I send emails from gmail for example, I receive them without a trouble. Does anyone know any reason why emails sent from php can't be received?
Try using phpmailer, it's a good mailing class which automatically sets well defined headers so that the mail is more likely to not land in the spam folder.
Sounds like a spam filter issue. Have you set up a proper Sender ID/SPF framework in your domain name service so that the host appears to be a valid MTA for this domain? Look here for a detailed explanation of Sender ID/SPF/DKIM, etc.
Check your spam folder.
GMail is able to differenciate if a mail has been sent from outlook for example or an automated application. (I dont know how, but they can). If i send an email from my work account to GMAil works, if its a web app or executable with the same email adress, it ends up on the spam folder.
Having problems with setting up my website to use MS Exchange to send emails. I dont want to use the hosts email system.
The MS Exhange has been set up, with email addresses created.
My webpages are using Persits.MailSender which the host supports.
Do i need to change MX records? A records?
Sorry, im not clued up with network side of things, any help would be appreciated
When i email direct, the email address on the exchange picks up the emails. BUT if i email through the website, it goes to the annoying webmail the host is provinding, and not to the exchange
I find this strange, the same email address receiving emails at different places!
Im using ASP, and I have a website set up, which has been sending emails for the last 12 months, the host has messed up (again) somewhere, but doesnt know what is wrong (as usual)
There are no errors, the email always gets sent.... but to the wrong place.
I would look into actually trapping and knowing your errors. That way you can see precisely why it fails and have something to work with. As it stands, your question isn't really answerable. No language nor framework is provided. We don't know if the mail server is confirmed to be working or accessible outside your netowrk; we don't know how your are referencing it or if you are passing user credentials; we don't know what error you're getting...
At this point, you're not debugging, you're just sort of swinging in the dark. Find the point of failure and then research that data point to get a solution. Debug, catch errors, log, step through your code. All good ideas.
Ok i figured it out, I deleted the mail domain on the host as that was the first place the website looks to send an email. Once the mail domain was deleted the emails were sent to the external hosted mailserver MS Exchange email address. Yay!
