[Dovecot] Save sent mail on server
Hi dovecot list users,
currently we have some email accounts which get maintained by different people. If any of this users sends a mail, it is only saved on his local machine, but not on the imap server. But i'll need them to get saved on the mail server for backup purposes and that every user can see which mails have been sent through this account. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance Regards Benjamin

Dovecot's responsible for receiving mail. You need to do this when you send mail, so you probably need to do this in your MTA or MSA. For sendmail, you could set up MIMEDefang to copy messages from selected senders to a special local account (Use MD's AddRecipient()) and then add that IMAP account to the MUA's of all the people who need to see the sent messages.

This has been a configurable option in all the mail clients I've used. I know for a fact Thunderbird and Becky let you choose to store a copy of sent messages in any folder you choose. I'm fairly certain Outloo lets you choose, too.
Which mail client are you using?
Also, Postfix (and possibly other MTAs) support options to BCC every message to another account, allowing you to save all your traffic. Some people use this to comply with legal obligations for communication storage.
