Here are a couple of things I do which might be useful: 1. In one account, I have a filter which applies the label "S" to messages which are from my address. I don't understand why, but this has the effect of adding them to the Inbox in addition to Sent Mail.
2. In another account, where I use multiple kinds of stars, I put a question mark on sent mail to which I expect a reply (and that's the only use for that particular "star"). I use other "stars" for other purposes, and am in the habit of checking my Starred label regularly, so it's easy to see what needs my attention. --APB On Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 11:19 AM, glowstrz <[email protected]> wrote: > I can tell you why I'd like this feature and it seems pretty logical to > me.
