    Hey guys,

    I synced up my apple mail client to my gmail account. The problem I'm experiencing though is that it's downloading sent messages and storing those in the inbox instead of treating it separately. Any idea why?

    I figure I'd need to setup a rule to move messages from the gmail account to sent, but I'm surprised it's not handling this automatically.

    I also wish that the gmail account and mail client were always synchronized in terms of deleted mail/sent messages/etc. The best I've found is to either delete it from gmail's server immediately so the client is always up to date, or have it delete it a week later. But seems like that won't keep it synced up.
