Windows 10: HOW CAN I SEE THAT SENT MESSAGES HAVE BEEN READ IN GMAIL?

ME AND COMPUTERS DON'T GET ALONG

Windows Phone 8 generates duplicate gmail messages in sent folder

This is actually on gmail's side, not your phone.

When you set up a gmail account using IMAP/SMTP instead of Exchange, you'll obviously use their SMTP to send messages.

As I recall, Gmail's servers retain a copy of any message sent through their SMTP in your Sent folder. There's your first copy.

Windows Phone (and most other mail apps as well) assume that your SMTP server doesn't automatically save a copy of sent messages, so it saves a copy to your Sent folder. There's your second copy.

To test: I'd suggest setting your phone not to store a copy of sent messages on the remote server and make a test send to a friend (not yourself because you don't want gmail getting confused). If you have 1 copy in your gmail sent folder, there's your answer.

 

Gmail - Getting mails not exactly sent to me

No one else is getting anyone's mail because of this... It is NOT a bug.
It is intentional. All those addresses belong to you, no matter where the dot.

Quoted from GMail help:

Test it... send yourself an email with no dot in your name.

 

Gmail shows mail messages sent from Lumia 1020 as being sent twice (duplicae sent emails)

When I send e-mail from my Nokia Lumia 1020 Microsoft Windows Phone 8 they show up in my Gmail sent folder twice. It appears as if the messages are being sent twice.



I have read forum threads on this and similar issues, but found no explanation. My problem is only with messages I send from the phone. I do not have any problems with incoming email or mail I send from the Gmail web interface or Gmail apps.



Again, when I send e-mail from my phone Gmail shows the messages as being sent twice.
