I then looked around for another free mail reader and found Claws. If I set that up in IMAP mode, it *does* show the sent mail. Further googling showed that Claws was developed from the same code base as Sylpheed so if one program can display the sent mail, why won't the other?
Any help/ideas appreciated.
I've used claws for some time now. It is essentially "sylpheed with plugins". AFAIR sylpheed handled POP3 and IMAP (and wikipedia seems to confim that) so I'm a little surprised you have problems. But I'd recommend you move to claws anyway.
More on this problem first. Whatever I did to Sylpheed including moving the Mail folder didn't help. So I'm guessing that there's a config file somewhere that I'd need to either move or delete.
Assuming I give up on Sylpheed and migrate to Claws, how easy is it to move all the mail too? Am I right in thinking that they both use the same mail structure of MH? So can I simply drop the Sylpheed mail into the Claws mail system and expect it to 'just work' or will it all go nipple north?
