Most of them don’t however, necessitating that I do an IMAP APPEND to get the message in Sent. Is there a good/any way to tell when the APPEND is necessary? Right now I’m doing it all the time which is resulting in double copies in the Sent mailbox for systems that do it automatically. > No, there isn't, as far as I know. You can, on some systems, tell which is the Sent mailbox, and you could watch it for a new message, I suppose. I bet systems supporting special use mailboxes don't do the automatic append, though. On other systems, the "correct" method for sending a message is to first append it, and then submit by BURL. Finally, Alexey had a postaddress extension which allowed you to do the append by using a special address during submission.
