Windows Mail & Gmail IMAP

Hello everyone! I recently configured Windows Mail to use Gmail's IMAP
feature. I like very much, but I have a question. When I send an email, a
copy of the email that I sent is stored in the Sent Items in my local
folders and on the Gmail server. Is there a way to prevent my sent emails
from being stored on the local folders?

Thank you.

Re: Windows Mail & Gmail IMAP

Not sure which particular fix you attempted, but have you done this:
Tools, Options, Send, uncheck the first box ("Save a copy of sent...").
If that did not help, right-click on the Sent Items folder under the Gmail
folder (in Windows Mail), select Synchronization Settings, Don't Synchronize.

Re: Windows Mail & Gmail IMAP

One more question. When I delete a message using Gmail's IMAP in Windows
Mail, is there a way for that message to go into the "Trash" folder rather
that the "Deleted Items" folder?

If so, then I will have Windows Mail exactly how I want it.

Thank you
