Hello all,

Is there a way to achieve the following behaviour: put sent mail in sent-mail folder, until a reply to that mail arrives; when that happens, move the original mail to Inbox, in order to have a "complete" thread. The setting "Keep replies in this folder" works well I'm replying to received email, but not when I send the first email in a thread (that then gets replied to).

This is inspired by Gmail's "conversations" feature.
Thanks in advance.

I'm afraid not. It's easy to get all subsequent sent mail to stay in the same folder as replies to you - you use the folder's context menu for that - but the initial message from you has to be moved manually.

This would be a brilliant feature! Have you created a feature request gauthma?

You can put all your sent mail in inbox, which gives you almost what you want. It's a setting in the configuration of the used identity (Advanced tab).

True, but there's the fine difference of having the sent e-mails in your inbox ONLY when they are replied to. I suppose that small detail is among what makes Gmail so handy.
