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?
