New replies in Sent Mail label/folder

First I’d like to say that this email client looks great and I would like to thank the dev for making it.

When I receive a reply to a sent message the reply is in the sent mail label/folder is there a way to make it appear in the inbox label/folder?

Thanks in advance

Good point! Thanks for speaking up. I am having this problem to.

Just bumping this back to the top.

Since Thunderbird has this same issue I’m guessing that it isn’t a simple fix?

This is expected IMAP/Gmail behavior rather than a Mailspring-specific issue. When someone replies to a thread, Gmail’s threading groups that reply with the original sent message — so the thread appears in both Inbox (because of the reply) and Sent Mail (because the original is there). Most email clients, including Thunderbird, show the same behavior. The reply itself should still appear in your Inbox; the thread just shows up in Sent because it contains your original message. There isn’t a way to suppress this without server-side filtering.

Thank you for getting back

I’d be happy if it would appear in both inbox and sent folder however replys only appear in the sent folder in both Mailspring and Thunderbird. I haven’t noticed it this in Mailspring however in Thunderbird for a brief moment the incoming email will be in the inbox then it disappears and is in the sent folder.
