Recently upgraded to version 3.17.0git138 and found that messages sent by Claws do NOT appear in the "Sent" folder. System Information GTK+ 2.24.32 / GLib 2.54.3 Locale: C (charset: US-ASCII) Operating System: Linux 4.12.14-lp150.12.22-default (x86_64)
Note: Reverted to version 3.17.0git53 - using same libraries (i.e. recompiled, etc.) - and sent emails now properly appear in "Sent" folder.
(In reply to comment #1) > Note: Reverted to version 3.17.0git53 - using same libraries (i.e. > recompiled, etc.) - and sent emails now properly appear in "Sent" folder. I can confirm this. It seems that claws does not honour the default server folders so to have sent mails saved you need to explicitly configure claws to use the default folders. Eg edit accouts -> advanced -> #imap/[server]/Sent

In your IMAP mailbox, if you look at the Properties of your sent mail folder, is its 'Folder Type' set to 'Outbox'?
Lyle, The patch at 3.17.0git139 broke something while fixing something else. Please try 3.17.0-141-gd2bdb12 and report back whether you still have this bug. If yes, then I'll have more questions.
Paul, I only update from source every two or three weeks and didn't update/download 3.17.0-141-gd2bdb12. If you have a copy and want me to try it, please email me a copy or let me know how to pick it up with claws git. Cheers, Lyle
Paul, BTW: version 3.17.0git139 is working O.K. (proper "Send" folder for both IMAP and POP3 (both with SSL/TLS) accounts. Lyle
(In reply to comment #10) > > BTW: version 3.17.0git139 is working O.K. (proper "Send" folder for both > IMAP and POP3 (both with SSL/TLS) accounts. The problem with 3.17.0git139 occurs when the Global pref to save sent msgs is not set, account pref is not set, and folder pref is not set. Then you would expect the 'save message to' checkbox to be unset, but with 3.17.0git139 it was set. The only problem I found with 3.17.0git138 was that SMTP-only account msgs were not getting the save folder set. This was also Andrej's discovery. With 3.17.0git141 everything seems to work, inasmuch as I can't find a way to reproduce your problem. That's why I wanted you to test again, because there are many variables around this and its possible there is something different with your set-up. You didn't answer the question in comment #7: In your IMAP mailbox, if you look at the Properties of your sent mail folder, is its 'Folder Type' set to 'Outbox'?
Just downloaded, compiled and installed version 3.17.0git141 Tested both IMAP and POP accounts. "Sent" works as expected in both. "is its 'Folder Type' set to 'Outbox'?" Both are set to Folder Type "Outbox" (which is "greyed out").
Thanks for the confirmation, Lyle.
