Inbox and Sent folder switched
« on: October 30, 2009, 05:10:27 pm »
 :o I am using ver 1.6. I set my email up with imap. When I collect my email all new messages are put into sent folder and all sent messages are put into inbox folder. I checked the forums and did not find any help. Is there something I missed.
Any help would be great.
Thank You

Email is classified as "Sent" or as "Received" depending on the "From" and "To" fields of the email. If the email's "From" is the account's email address then the email is shown on the "Sent" folder. If the email's "To" contains your email address then the email is shown on the "Inbox". If your email is in "From" and "To" it should be shown in both folders.

Does this explain your case or are you seeing all email "From" your email address in the "Inbox"?

I've got the same problem.
Quite a few emails that do have my email address in the FROM field are displayed in my Inbox.
