I use Fastmail for this. Here's what we do:

- My wife and I each have our own email addresses

- We have a third email address that we share with the school (etc.); this email address is not a real inbox but a forwarding address that sends mail to the first two

- When email is sent TO this address, the default is to reply FROM the address

- When email is sent FROM this address, an Auto BCC rule sends a copy to the other spouse

In this way we both get our own personal email addresses, but we have a shared address that goes to both of us, and we know if an email sent to that address has been replied to, what the reply was, etc.

Just wanted to give another shout to FastMail. I'm a super happy user. I originally switched over for business reasons as it had a lot of features I liked. The past year, I exported my gmail history to it and setup forwarding so now I'm 100% on it for personal and business. So much cleaner.

Paid service - but with all the features + privacy of not being on Google (Well, anything going to my gmail still goes through - but slowly moving away) + they have excellent and fast customer support - all makes it worth it.

We love Fastmail, and that's the service that hosted our email for a long time.
Hi,

I don’t really get where to configure the auto bcc rule when sending emails from third email address.

Thanks

In Fastmail: Settings, My email addresses, [address], Show advanced composing preferences, Auto BCC
Thanks again!
