[Gmail-Users] Disappearing Sent mail, disappearing attachments
by billhansen

I've noticed that occasionally, one or more of the emails I sent
through Gmail disappears. It never makes its way to theSent Mail part
of Gmail, or anywhere else as far as I can tell. The intended
recipients do receive the mail, but I have no copy of the mail I've
sent.

Also, attachments, or filenames of attachments, never appear in Sent
Mail on any email I send through Gmail. Sometimes there will be an
ideogram of a paper clip, indicating that there was an attachment, but
there's no indication of file name or other identification of which
attachment was sent. On other mails which were sent with attachments,
the copy which goes to Sent Mail doesn't even have a paper clip
ideogram, or any other indication that there was an attachment to the
original email. The recipients do get the attachments (as far as I can
tell), but I have no way to check back on which attachments I've sent
to whom.

I assume this is just another in the  list of shortcomings of Gmail,
but I'm hoping that someone in the group will know of a way to recover
those lost Sent mails -  and maybe there's even a way to identify
which files were originaly attached to any emails sent through Gmail.
It seems like a very major shortcoming of a mail program, not to have
any indication of which files were attached to Sent emails.

Any info on these would be very helpful - even if people just confirm
that this is a shortcoming we all have to live with, if we're going to
use Gmail.

Thanks - Bill Hansen
