[asterisk-users] This is a test, hijack this

[Karl Fife]

Gergo is using Gmail,
He is also using an IMAP client to author his messages (as I do).

The messages (new threads) he authors ARE of course 'going through' (that is 
to say, he CAN start a new thread) but because of the way the Gmail 'label' 
paradigm is 'shoe-horned' into the IMAP folder paradigm (read: less than 
perfectly), the Gmail server logic ONLY applies the SENT MAIL label, but not 
(also) the INBOX label therefore they don't show up in his IMAP inbox (I'm 
using inbox synonymously with whatever "folder" that he has created 
server-side rules for).

THEREFORE the perception is that they don't 'go through' because he can't 
see them in his inbox and assumes therefore that  nobody else can see them 
either.  However, as we know they DO go through.

As a workaround he should grab the message from his IMAP Sent Mail "folder" 
and "copy" them into his "inbox".  I put quotes around the folder names 
because of course there are no such folders in reality--only labels, but 
those actions he can trigger the IMAP server to apply the right Gmail labels 
'behind-the-scenes"

I haven't tried to think through why the nuances are such that this 
characteristic doesn't express itself when he replies to others' threads, 
but I suspect it has something to do with Gmail's 'threading' logic.

I hope this helps.

He was probably having the same problem I've had where I can reply to
exiting threads fine but any time I send a fresh email to start a new
thread it never goes through. Murphy's law being what it is this email
that he suspected would never go through... did.
