Hi,

Is it possible to FCC: to imap folders? particularly, if I have two
inboxes foo:INBOX and bar:INBOX, I'd like to have the default FCC: bee
foo:Sent and bar:Sent (being folders on those imap servers).

Tia,

Matthew

Yup. Please look up "IMAP-FCC" in the manual (concept index).

It has been in VM for a quite while now, though perhaps not described in the
manual.

Cheers,

This does almost what I want, which I suspect means I'm missing
something obvious ;-)

My emails are being saved in the appropriate IMAP folder now, but they
are missing a sensible From: line. The version that gets sent by email
gets a sensible From: line, but it's missing from the version that gets
saved to the IMAP folder.

Relevants bits from my .vm:
(add-hook 'mail-send-hook 'vm-imap-save-composition)
(setq mail-default-headers "IMAP-FCC: Sent")
(setq vm-imap-refer-to-inbox-by-account-name t)

Thanks,

Matthew

It looks like you are depending on the mail-mode for inserting the From
header. If you set `vm-mail-header-from' then VM will insert it ahead of
time, and it will go into IMAP-FCC.

Ah, thanks. I don't suppose I can set From: based on the IMAP server I'm
visiting, can I? [obviously I can edit the composition buffer ;) ]
