[Solved]Claws Mail & Gmail IMAP: sending multiple instances of a email
Hi,
Luckily, I just stumbled upon this [1] topic and had the same problem as the OP there.
If I send a mail from within Claws, all looks normal (I just have one mail, which displays on one line). However, when I open the Gmail web interface, I see those mails sent from Claws in the conversations as multiple mails, of which only the last one has the full content of the mail that was actually sent.
There is an easy fix for this problem, described within the same topic
For the reference of anyone else who encounters this issue, I suspect the option "Autosave message text to Drafts every 50 characters" was the culprit.
Here is an updated location of this option (as of claws-mail 3.9.3-4):
Configuration (menu) > Preferences (option) > Compose (tree) > Writing (subtree), "Automatically save message to Drafts folder every 50 characters".I can confirm this solution still works. Actually, the surprise here is this problem still exists even after more than 5 years.
I spotted this annoyance while sending mails to the aur-general mailing list; initially I thought it was a problem between mailman and gmail; after reading [1] I understood the problem was (is!) somewhere between claws-mail and Gmail's IMAP.
Anyway, I just created this topic to provide this updated information and not to necrobump the old one. I hope it may help someone one day as it helped me.
