Prevent emails from appearing in sent folder?

  • I was using SendGrid’s free service for low volume transactional emails until today when I stopped getting emails on one of my domains and after so much troubleshooting, I learned it was due to the SendGrid server being black listed on several RBLs. I started looking for other solutions and came across using Gmail’s smtp. Downloaded plugin, followed your instructions to set it up and the problem was solved perfectly. Emails arrive instantly!

    Question: Is there any way to prevent emails that are sent through this plugin from appearing in the sent mail folder of gmail? For example, suppose someone submits a form, the form submission to land in my inbox, but not in my sent folder as well. Is that possible?

    Hi, I don’t think it’s possible because the email is actually being sent from the gmail server.

    I was researching this earlier today and someone was using another SMTP plugin, and they said they were having the opposite trouble, i.e. mails weren’t getting saved in their sent folder.

    See comment from “Mike” 3 months ago on the above link. Do you think he’s mistaken about it?
