Google Mail

Hi I have just set Opera up to use IMAP with Googlemail one thing I have  
noticed is when downloading the messages from Google it downloads the  
twice and displays the same two messages as threads.

This can't be normal surly?

Using Opera 9.26 Build 8835

Regards
John.

Gmail stores them twice when you use filters...

Hey Rijk!
I've got the same problem while I don't use any filters. Neither in gmail  
nor in M2. Messages in 'regular' View (All Messages -> Inbox/Outbox/Sent)  
are shown twice.
Any idea about this?

Best Greetings

If you use mail in Opera, you use Opera filters. If you use gmail, you use  
gmail filters. Both have a single store for messages and show them at  
different locations. I can't be 100% sure, but it's very likely that  
message is in two locations since gmail stores mail in the "All Mail" 

folder/label and the Inbox folder/label.
