The question is not one of pros and cons. Gmail itself (not Evolution) saves a copy of every email you send through it, independent of any settings in Evolution. So you *should not* tell Evolution to save sent mail on the server for Gmail accounts - not only is it unnecessary to do so, but I think it might well cause confusion when you have two copies of every message sent. For Gmail accounts you should configure Evolution to store sent messages in a local folder, normally "On This Computer/Sent". This is the advice from both Google and the Evolution team. (If you don't use Gmail's SMTP server, then this doesn't apply.) > Hoped we could have done this without getting wires crossed, as > explaining Gmails physical folder structure vs. its virtualization might > go off topic here ? It is on-topic in so much as it might be necessary to explain some of the odd behaviour of Gmail accounts - but it is not Evolution specific, any IMAP client suffers from the same problems. > Is it possible to attach a screenshot to another mail for the list > here ? > You would be better using some image service and pasting a link - that is the way to annoy the least number of people.
