Hi,
I just searched and found this info for the same exact problem that I
experienced. I sent an email yesterday while on the phone and the person
got it along with the attachment.
The sent box does not have the message I sent, I checked all mail, trash
and nothing - it basically has vanished. I log in directly to gmail to get
mail and send it.
I guess there's no solution?
