I think i understand what you are saying. Just for curiosity, would there be any advantage for me in having gmail for sending mail? I use a desktop, not a laptop, which will always be sitting at my workplace. I have configured exim right now to use my departments mail server as smarthost for outgoing mail. That works both for my gmail and my workplace mail. I don't know whether one can configure separate outgoing hosts for different profiles in mutt, and as i said above, whether there would be any advantage in doing that, in my case. > > I think (haven't tested) it might be possible to trick gmail by deleting > all trace of the sent message before it returns via the list.

I get my own mail as part of the mailing list thread (ofcourse that happens even when i send through the web interface, only when i send through mutt, it saves no copy in gmail's sent-mail), and the mail also gets through getmail into my local machine.
