Hey,

I choosed to use Mail.app (2.1.1 on Mac OS X) to access some IMAP
mailboxes. These IMAP mailboxes can also accessed via a kind of
Webmail.

From `Mail.app' each sent messages goes to `Sent Messages' but from
webmail, each sent message goes to `Sent'.

Is there any way to tail Mail.app that on some account, the `Sent'
folder as the role of `Sent Messages'?

Select the "Sent" folder you wish to use for your sent messages. Then
from the menu bar go to the Mailboxes menu, toward the bottom there is be
a "Use this mailbox for ...". From that select Sent Messages.

Thank for the tip!

I have never noticed before that the ``main Mailboxes menu'' and the
``contextual Mailboxes menu'' were a bit different!

All the best,
