Is it possible to create a gmail filter to redirect incoming email (those sent by me to me) to the sent folder?
I use a VBA script to send email from Excel through smtp.googlemail.com. Unfortunately, this method doesn't allow a copy of email to be stored in the sent folder. My workaround, I think, is to send a bcc copy of the email to myself and create a gmail filter to move the email to the sent folder. This seems easy enough until I realized that I didn't know how to create a filter to do so. In the "choose label..." drop down box, there is no option for "sent folder".
Any help? Thanks.
SentViaScript) for these emails and set up the appropriate filter in gmail (skip inbox etc.). Since they weren't really sent via gmail it could be misleading to try and fake this (if that is even possible), and with their own label they are more easily identifiable. – w3d Mar 16 at 13:02
