Gmail stores all your sent mail in its Sent Mail folder. This has already been explained before. > 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? Read the Help page for Gmail IMAP, where there is discussion of issues relating to Gmail's handling of Trash. IIRC there is a configuration option in Gmail to change this somewhat but I don't think it can be made to work exactly as normal IMAP servers work. I use Gmail and just don't worry about it. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
