[MlMt] Duplicated sent messages (in Sent Mail and in filed-in box), Gmail

[Caroline Taylor]

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I'd already gone through all of
the archives in great detail, along with the bug reports and discussion
there, along with everything else I can find in google. I'm using tag
mapping, and have followed all the instructions and tried alternatives.
Nothing there helps.

What I'm confused by is that it's *only* the sent mail messages that are
duplicating. Everything else, which is also tagged and/or filed, is not
duplicated. Is that somehow the expected behavior?

My understanding is that duplicates when using All Mail are pretty
universal, not just Sent Mail. If I can figure out why Sent Mail is
behaving differently, perhaps I can fix it.

I'm familiar with google's "IMAP"; I wish it were either standard or I had
a viable alternative. It's made me cranky for years. Tragically, I'm stuck
with it, and the labels.

Thanks,
      Caroline
