Your beloved gmail, for one, will just take whatever you send through its SMTP and store it in your big email soup that it then exposes to IMAP. But so, with standard IMAP implementations that have nothing to do with the MTA, it's the client's job to store the sent messages. How is it that the server has any saying in where the message goes? Does it discern in any way between a sent message and a received message? Some messages are neither (drafts, imports). _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
