My ISP have recently moved their servers to Gmail and Hence IMAP seems to
be the way to go in order to keep my email in sync on both my desktop and
my laptop. It's causing me a few headaches though, not least of which is
the following.

I've configured Outlook 2007 (SP2) to save my sent mail in the "Sent"
folder on the IMAP server, so that I can see my sent items from both
machines. This seems to work fine when composing new email from within
Outlook itself, by clicking the "New" button on the toolbar. If, however,
I decided to send from within another app, for example Word or Excel,
using the Email button on the QAT (or Office Orb|Send|Email), the message
gets saved in my local "Sent Items" folder, meaning I have to manually
move it to the server. I'm not even sure if this is an Outlook, Office or
Windows issue (I'm using Vista Ultimate SP2) but is this normal? If so,
is there any way around it?

This is normal. I don't know if there is a workaround....
