This could explain the multiple messages in you gmail inbox: IIRC the content of the sent folder appears in your inbox, too, and for some reason using a draft folder on a gmail account causes some draft messages appear in the inbox, too. WL contacting the when writing a draft indicites that you've set up wl-draft-folder to be a gmail IMAP folder and is, as far as the overall process of drafting a message goes, perfectly normal. If you don't really need the draft functionality you could make the draft folder a local folder. My setup: ;; Use local maildir folders for drafts and trash. (setq wl-draft-folder ".drafts") (setq wl-trash-folder ".trash") (setq wl-queue-folder ".queue") HTH, -- David -- OpenPGP... 0x99ADB83B5A4478E6 Jabber.... dmjena@jabber.org Email..... dmaus@ictsoc.de
