A better Gmail IMAP to Mail.app sync
Authored by: nixlimited on Tue, Apr 22 2008 at 10:09AM PDT

Maybe I don't understand the behavior with this change, but I have some issues. The sent mail (in Mail.app) no longer syncs with gmail's sent mail--it only has the mail I have sent since making the change. Complicating that problem, I now have a whole hoard of emails in gmails web client with the IMAP/Sent label applied--it's an eyesore.

The cleaned up sidebar, though, is a fantastic development. I had always been annoyed by those folders and the inconsistencies between new email counts.

The sent mail (in Mail.app) goes into under the label of IMAP/Sent on Gmail. It means that.
But this way, you can find your sent mail (in Mail.app) on Gmail web, which is good.
