why are duplicate sent mail being displayed in my inbox gmail

This basically means that each device gets a chance to download the mail locally and thus access it. To work around this 'issue', most mail applications when using POP3 give you the option to 'leave messages on server' or something worded similarly.

So mail is delivered to one home and unless you take extra measures, only that device (home) can see that mail. POP3 is a totally different beast, think of it as a number of homes that all (strangely) have the same address. Every device that uses IMAP gets it's own window to the mail, so they are all sharing the mail but have their own window and actions from one device are automatically reflected on other devices since all of your windows are looking at the same group of mail/folders. The big difference between IMAP and POP3 is best if you think of IMAP as a window to your mail. The settings you have for Drafts, Junk and Sent sound good. Is this something that can be handled in this thread, a different thread, by private messaging, or should I just go away?Ĭorrect, I meant 'if' you are the person that uses drafts in appropriately, since I've seen a few people do that (they think it's faster) and then it becomes their normal mode of operation for notes or temporary things. Now for something completely different: I would like to chat with you about IMAP and POP3 and what gets stored at the server and/or locally, because I want to make sure that my (and my ex's) backup package (CrashPlan) has everything it needs to restore my highly-categorized mail data. Given that, in Accounts>Mailbox Behaviors>Sent Mailbox should I show 'Msn' or should I show the 'Sent' that is subordinate to 'Msn'? The same question applies to the other two fields, but I'm sure I could handle them if you set me straight on this one. If I understand you correctly, I should associate Drafts and Junk with 'On my Mac' and Sent with 'Msn' and all should be well. I could probably just wait for the mail to let me know sooner or later, but you're so handy. Yes, I generally play by conservative rules. You said 'The only exception here is you are the kind (bad) person that tends'.
