The user has Outlook 2010 and uses IMAP to access Gmail. The option in Outlook to save a copy of the message in the sent items folder is turned off. If the user composes a message and then adds an attachment and sends it only 1 copy of the message is kept in the sent items folder - which is as it should be. But if the user opens a file in Word and then from within Word emails the file 2 copies of the message are in the sent items folder although only 1 is received by the recipient. Has anyone come across a similar problem? Is there a fix? Thanks for any replies. ---
