Hello,

I am trying to switch to gnus for my main email client, however I cannot figure out how to get a copy of each email sent to my default Sent folder used by other email applications that was created by my provider (Posteo to be exact).

I have tried different things, such as by seting archive folder and attempting to gcc, but none of these have worked.

Additionally, I see many posts online are about doing this with an archive about once a month, whereas I just want each individual message to be placed in the "Sent" folder when it is sent.

Thank you.

Update: This has been resolved thanks to Adam and the solution is as seen on his blog.

I don't have an answer for you for gnus, but I use isync/mbsync with mu/mu4e and there you can set it to automatically put sent messages in the sent imap folder. If you are not already invested deeply into gnus, you could consider giving mu4e a try.
