I use FastMail, which I have set to do its own saving of sent mail.
Is there a way to turn this behavior off in MailMate for my "Sent
Items" folder so that I don't get duplicates of every sent message in
there?
No.
I'd rather let FastMail's servers handle this.
It's a tricky problem, because this would mean that MailMate should
permanently delete its copy of the message just after sending it.
Performance-wise it doesn't make much of a difference. Either the
message is downloaded from “Sent Messages” or it's uploaded to
“Sent Messages”. The only way to avoid this is for MailMate to
automatically detect the sent message duplicate and keep its own local
copy and “just” map it to the online copy. It might not be that
trivial though, e.g., Gmail adds headers to the sent mail which means
that they are no longer strictly identical.
It looks like FastMail does the same - when I compare the duplicate
messages, one has detailed headers, the other includes only the original
message. The deduplication seems to "just work" in Apple Mail (perhaps
it's doing something like what you describe above). Thanks for the
detailed explanation of the issue - I had assumed it was less
complicated than that.
As a workaround you can setup deletion of sent messages yourself. Add
a rule to the “Sent Messages” mailbox which deletes any message
which has a “Relayed” header (Relayed exists). This is a virtual
header which only exists in MailMate and not in the FastMail copy.
Thanks, Ill give that a try.
