Mutt/Offlineimap Sent mail is showing up in Gmail Inbox

cecure · 2014-06-30 15:15:16

Hi,

I am just starting my journey with mutt and quite like the interface thus far but I am having trouble with sent emails showing up in my Gmail inbox. It is a little annoying to always have my sent emails appear as unread in my inbox. In my search for a solution I have found that this behavior sometimes occurs if you have Gmail filters that are set to never send to spam, I checked and do not have any such filters. This could also happen if I had $record set, but I have specifically unset record. My muttrc and offlineimaprc are as follows (I used several tutorial sites to help create these) (I have hashed out some personal details):

muttrc

# Paths ----------------------------------------------
set folder           = ~/.mail               # mailbox location
set alias_file       = ~/.mutt/alias         # where to store aliases
set header_cache     = ~/.mutt/cache/headers # where to store headers
set message_cachedir = ~/.mutt/cache/bodies  # where to store bodies
set certificate_file = ~/.mutt/certificates  # where to store certs
set mailcap_path     = ~/.mutt/mailcap       # entries for filetypes
set tmpdir           = ~/.mutt/temp          # where to keep temp files

                                             ]

I use msmtp to send the emails (and they do send) but as far as I know that program should have nothing to do with my folder labeling.

What happens exactly: When in mutt, I press 'm' and compose an email and send with 'y'. Oddly enough, the email appears in my gmail inbox (the webmail) even before I sync mutt with offlineimap (I don't automatically sync). Once I sync, I see the email in both my sent mail and inbox.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

You have unset the record variable.
