EmailDiscussions.com - View Single Post - Saving mail sent from iPhone (outside of Mail app) in Sent folder...

I use the FastMail app on my iDevices, but my question is about how to set things up so that mail sent, say, when one uses the "Share" button on an iDevice to send a email that shares a web page, for example. I want emails sent in this fashion to have a copy left in the Sent mail FM folder.

My current setup is this:
1. I have the default SMTP server on the iDevices set to the FM SMTP server
2. I have FM options set so that any email that gets sent through the FM SMTP server has a copy put in the Sent folder.
3. I then have all the various IMAP clients on iDevices and computers set so that they do NOT store a copy of sent mail in the Sent folder (so I don't get 2 copies!).

This seems unnecessarily complex. Is there an easier approach?
