Sv: Sv: Avoid duplicate emails in the sent folder

[Sebastian]

Thats why you need the exim4 filter too.

Because, my version basically prohibits the IMAP client from writing to the Sent folder at all, and gives that job to the SMTP server instead.
Works perfectly for me, all sent emails gets into the sent folder without any hitch.

Without any duplicates since no IMAP client is permitted to write into the Sent folder.

Note that only APPEND should be specifyed, not COPY, meaning that if you COPY from the same IMAP account to Sent folder, it will be permitted, but if you APPEND (write a new email) to the Sent folder, it will get auto-deleted.

Thanks, Sebastian.

I just tried this, but it is working too well.

If I want to import emails from another Sent folder, using drag & drop from my email client, the emails are deleted in the background.

This is why I am trying to use the duplicate filter.

Kind regards,
André Rodier
