There is zero advantage to your BCC suggestion. The BCC copy is still going to have to end up on his remote IMAP server. Just store the sent items in Local Folders/Sent Items. I do this and it works great. My Dovecot server is local, 100BaseT, and it's still noticeably faster to store Sent Items locally on the workstation. -- Stan
