* make it configurable what to do with sent messages (part 2), and document it:
By default, @t{mu4e} puts a copy of any messages you sent in the folder you set for @code{mu4e-sent-folder}. In some case, this may not be what you want - for example, when using GMail+@abbr{IMAP} (but @emph{not} with GMail+@abbr{POP3}), this interferes with GMail's handling of the sent messages folder, and you may end up with duplicate messages. For this, since @t{mu4e} 0.9.8.3, there is the variable @code{mu4e-sent-messages-behavior}, which takes a symbol. The default is @code{'sent} which, as stated causes the message to be copied to your sent-messages folder. Other possible values are @code{'trash} (so the sent message is copied to the trash-folder (@code{mu4e-trash-folder}), and @code{'delete} to simply discard the message altogether.

By default, @t{mu4e} puts a copy of any messages you sent in the folder you

|

|
GMail+@abbr{POP3}), this interferes with GMail's handling of the sent messages

0.9.8.3, there is the variable @code{mu4e-sent-messages-behavior}, which takes

a symbol. The default is @code{'sent} which, as stated causes the message to
