When I transfer e-mails from Outlook 2013 to GMail via GSMMO, some of my sent e-mails end up in the spam folder. I can move them to the inbox with "no spam". How do I get them from there into the sent folder? Do I really need to use IMAP? X_X

It also looks like that only the last complete conversation is transferred to GMail and therefore attachments from the first e-mail are missing. :(– qräbnöDec 30 '19 at 14:27

Gmail and Outlook mailboxes work very differently.
While Outlook has folders and allows to add any email to the sent folder, Gmail has views and labels.
Users can't add emails to Sent because it is a view that contains all emails where the Mailbox owner's email address can be found in the From field.
Workaround:
- In Outlook create a custom folder (i.e. name it as
Outlook Sent) - Move the content of the
Sentfolder to the new custom folder. - Migrate your email to Gmail
Result:
- There will be a label in Gmail and all the emails in your new custom folder will have that label
- Gmail's
Sentwill include all emails that were sent from the primary email address by the Gmail's mailbox owner.

Google, seriously? So they developed a workflow that sucks? Why? I mean, some emails end up in the sent folder and some don't, LOL.– qräbnöDec 30 '19 at 15:20

Um, yeah? As Goethe already knew: names are sound and smoke. I used the word folder above, but don't worry, I know what a view is.– qräbnöDec 30 '19 at 18:55

Based on the current situation (thanks to Rubén), I have drawn the following flow chart.
