Interesting, and yes, apparently this would suffice as a workaround for individual users, but imo the less configuring that needs to be done *in the client* the better - most importantly, there is less chance of problems from a user configuration error. I'd prefer to just uncheck the 'Save a copy' option, and let the save to sent happen totally on the server side. > 2) you know that, if to send the message failed, the message is not > sent, in opposite to differ from "upload to Sent via IMAP failed" in the > second stage.

I'm guessing if this could be done with some kind of dovecot LSA proxy, that the queue ID could still be saved (and even additional headers added if desired). > One disadvantage: > > 1) If the message is accepted, but for what reason ever is discarded by > the MTA, the data is lost. Why would it be accepted then discarded? Anyway, in such a case the data is lost regardless, right? -- Best regards, Charles
