One reason why we don't use the webmail ! Sent mails should go in Sent.

Not sure about Outlook - I know when it works with IMAP it won't drop a
sent email in the Sent folder and you have to do a rule to make it copy
from the local folder to the IMAP Sent folder. Had to do that for a few
people who wouldn't give up on their Outlook. Nasty little kludge.

Just wondering whether that applies to all mails ? Think you are right
about the remote image. Maybe there should be an option as to whether
you want an email tracked ?

I guess it won't get flagged as spam if you are in the receivers address
book (in TB).
