As others have said, don't bother putting the sent folder on Gmail - Gmail automatically stores any sent mail, so you will be storing it twice. You'll find the automatically stored stuff in '[Google Mail]/Sent Mail' (well that's where it is on mine). > > Also, the default Trash folder that appears under the Gmail tab (not > the one that falls under the Google Mail tree) seems to archive the > deleted mail, but then, after a few seconds, those emails vanish. > Why? Because Gmail considers deleted mail to be mail you really, really don't want and empties the "Trash" folder almost immediately. Remember that the Gmail paradigm is that you never delete anything, you use labels to mark things you want filed away somewhere. Yes, it breaks numerous imap standards; no, Google don't care, it's Google, they know best.
