When saving to the IMAP server's sent folder, it took a while, and I'd often get a message asking me to retry saving it. So I switched to saving to the local sent folder. But...

When I replied to a message in the IMAP sent folder, the return address was (correctly) the party I had originally sent the message to, and the follow-up message was (presumably) part of the same thread.

In the Local Sent folder, however, a "reply" goes to me. And there is no reply all option. So I need to copy the original email--and I suspect that the message I send starts a new thread, rather than continuing the old one.

You are the sender in a reply. You could Edit as new message.

Thanks for giving it some thought. But...

  1. The behavior is different from the IMAP sent folder, which is inconsistent. (I think the IMAP behavior is correct.)
  2. I don't see an Edit as new message option anywhere.
  3. I can always forward it, but in either case it necessarily creates a new thread, rather than continuing the old one. (I am "king of the afterthought". I almost always have a follow-up note. Or two.)

My current workaround is to go back to using the IMAP sent folder. I can live with the delay and the occasional error dialog in exchange for the functionality it offers.

We could debate about who's the sender in a reply. I noticed the difference you pointed out. But I wonder why you don't have the options I have. Edit as a new message gives me what you ask for. On a right-click on message in sent:

Ah. My mistake. The option is there in the right-click menu. But again, as a new message, it has to be a new thread.

One thing I discovered by accident that I love is selecting a passage and then hitting reply. Only the selection is quoted in the reply! Very nice.

And of course, I am always the "sender" of a message I sent. It's just that it's a pretty useless piece of information. There may be rare occasions where I need to reply to myself--and no one else. But it's not the 99.9% case. So "Reply" was nicely redefined to do something useful for an message stored in an IMAP sent-folder.

Please try it out and tell me what worked and what didn't.

I get the same result whether I use IMAPs-sent and reply or Local-sent and "edit as new".

Well, yes. "Edit as New" works the same from either folder. But that still leaves a Reply button that is essentially useless in the Local Sent folder, and the inconsistent behavior.

I consider Edit as New to be a work around. The better work around for me was to switch back to the IMAP Sent folder. Can't the inconsistency and reduced functionality be regarded as bug?

I'm a user like you so I have no say in whats a bug.

Inbox or any folder including sent (probably) use the same function when replying, making from-addresses being the to-addresses.

Why IMAP behave so inconsistent I cant understand.
