thanks for the reply, but it is already set to hide sent messages. it only hides the text messages, emails that i send either from my pc or bb will then show as a new message on my bb.
i would like to have it the same as the text messages, where i can go to "View Folder" and see my sent emails that way, but not have a new message every time i send an email.
This is a known issue with gmail accounts. The reason this happens is because the gmail website is set up to show email conversations as a kind of "chat thread." This can be prevented; go to your BIS website and set a filter on your gmail account to filter emails sent from your own gmail address. Sent messages will no longer be forwared to your BlackBerry.
