[Alpine-info] alpine and gmail filtering?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi folks,
Have been silent as my resources managed to configure alpine so that it 
can access my gmail content using imap.
i have a master password, my resource has me  using ssh to reach where 
alpine is running as well.
The issue seems to be getting the two services to play well together.
As an example, when I send a gmail, the message is not placed in my sent 
messages folder, instead it just gets saved to my inbox.
If I delete something, at least just now, it is not actually removed,
There may be a couple of things going on.
1, gmail uses a different folder / labeling system from alpine, with 
perhaps there being a configuration in alpine that needs set for filtering 
to work correctly..I am quite worried about the wonderful postponed 
messages   folder when a composition gets interrupted.
or,
2, my resource who is new to alpine is missing a folder filter step 
allowing  alpine to control where items go?
Question is this,
if you are using alpine to manage gmail say have been doing this for the 
last few months, how did you synchronize filtering so  sent messages go 
where they should,  trash goes where it should and so forth?
Thanks,
Karen
