<p dir="auto">No, the setting I'm looking for is something like: “Don't save copies in IMAP account when email clients use SMTP.” Most often, SMTP and IMAP are completely separate things and this wouldn't be an issue at all. It is the client's responsibility to save sent messages. Some email servers are now “smarter”, but it's badly standardized and not quite clear how an email client should behave. Since Gmail does this then one could argue that it's now the norm, but I don't consider Gmail standard in any way ;-)</p>
<p dir="auto">(What webmail does is irrelevant since webmail is its own client and it should naturally always save sent messages.)</p>
<p dir="auto">Technically, I believe the underlying bandwidth optimization problem is better solved by <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4468" style="color:#3983C4">this RFC</a>, but MailMate doesn't support this extension and I'm actually not sure if or how many SMTP servers support it.</p>

<div style="white-space:normal"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #777; color:#777; margin:0 0 5px; padding-left:5px"><p dir="auto">Isn't there a settings in MailMate where I can turn off saving sent mails per account?</p>
</blockquote></div>
<div style="white-space:normal">
<p dir="auto">No, and it's partly because I'm unsure how to implement it without risking losing sent messages. I would prefer a solution which ensures that MailMate doesn't delete it until it has found and downloaded the copy saved by the server. This includes verifying that it's an identical copy, for example, Gmail some times rewrites headers and I'll be blamed for that if MailMate doesn't somehow record what it really sent.</p>
<p dir="auto">In other words, I would prefer a feature like “Detect and delete duplicates” (for Sent Messages) rather than “Don't save sent messages”, but in practice the first is just a safer variant of the latter.</p>
<p dir="auto">But the answer is still: No, MailMate does not currently have the feature you are looking for.</p>

Can I change this behaviour somewhere?<br>

<br>
Since you cannot see both copies in webmail then I also suspect that there<br>
is a synchronization issue. Check that the mailbox for sent messages is<br>
online when you look at it under SOURCES in the mailbox list. (It's not<br>
online if it's greyed out.)</p>
