Hi everyone,

Can anyone point me to how to setup outgoing email filters with claws. I am using Claws with Gmail over IMAP and would like to put a copy of the sent email in the folder I am replying from. Without this my replies don't appear in the thread.

Thanks for any help on this.

First. I do not know how to deal with Claws-Mail.

Not exactly the answer to your question but... :-)

What I do with Gmail is to use two accounts. I register with a list, Fedora-Users here for example, with one address and set it to *not* send mail traffic. I use that account to post to the list or to reply to posts on the list. That is what I am doing here. This 'message' won't get sent back by Gmail. It is their policy. Which I disagree with but they do not appear to want to change.

I also register with the same list and use a second, different, email address with the preferences set to sent list traffic but I do not use that address to post. That way my second address 'sees' the post that I made from the first address and places it in the thread. Gmail does *not* stop the list traffic for the second address because the second address did not send it.

You are using Gmail so send yourself an invitation for an email account or just go to Gmail and open a new one if you wish.

Make the new account.

Register that account with the list.

Set one to not send traffic and one to send traffic (Else you will get traffic twice) then have Claws-Mail poll both accounts.

Not hard to do but it will consume some of your time.

Best of luck

I don't have claws-mail currently configured, but from memory what you are looking for is actually in the folder properties. Right click on the top level folder in your inbox and check the settings. There should be one to save replies in the same folder. There will also be a tickbox on the right saying "apply this to subfolders", which you need to tick. Hit Apply and you should be done.

That did the trick. This also eliminates the duplicate messages in Sent Mail! I had a small hiccup though, sometimes I use different email addresses to respond(but the same smtp server). The above setting was working only for the default email address. However setting the default email account separately for each folder did the trick (options are on the same menu).

PS: Claws mail seems to be the near perfect email client I was looking for so long, loving it! :)

I love it too. For a long time I used it exclusively until I decided that actually I could get by pretty well with just the Gmail interface and my work email client and it was therefore one less app to install and maintain.
