When using gmail in 3rd party email clients (iOS Mail, Sparrow for Mac and Airmail for Mac), my replies are missing from threaded conversations. Take the following example;
- Bill emails Jon, Sue and me.
- Jon replies to everyone.
- I reply to everyone.
- Sue replies to everyone.
- I reply to everyone.
In the above scenario, when I use Gmail in the browser, I correctly see all 5 emails in a single conversation thread. Unfortunately, when I use Mail on my iPhone or Sparrow on my Mac, my replies are missing and I only see 3 emails in the conversation thread. I have to go to my Sent Items folder to see them.
I have also noticed that certain peoples replies always show as single emails rather than in a conversation thread.
This seems like a recent problem. Is there a fix or setting I can change to make 3rd part apps behave like Gmail in the browser?
Note: My Gmail is from a Google Apps account. In iOS it's setup via Exchange. In Sparrow, it is setup with my Google account username and password.
