fair enough.
oh ok so less data if you bcc yourself rather than separately copying it to the imap folder. that also likely explains why “send to self” hasn’t been working for me with my custom smtp server that forwards emails over the pstn as texts - I wasn’t checking for any bcc header to forward emails to.
I think we’re on the same page now.
My feature proposal would be to change “send copy to self” to a 3-way toggle between:
- copy sent messages via imap (requires twice the data compared to bcc yourself)
- bcc yourself on sent messages to (requires almost no extra data)
- do not copy sent messages (will not work with multiple devices)
The first option would be default for the desktop application. copied messages would be copied to the same folder that delta chat was monitoring/working from.
The second option would be default for the mobile application
Thanks for all your responses
