leopard mail.app sends multiple copies?

I'm having the same issue, but when I compose a message to another of my email addys, I only actually get one copy. I've also been asking friends if they've been getting multiple emails from me and they have not.

I think this may be some odd autosave feature... perhaps it's supposed to be saving it as a draft, but there's a kink in the system, etc.

 

When you use Mail.app with a 'normal' IMAP server it saves a copy of the mail that you're composing in the draft folder twice per minute. Because Gmail doesn't implement IMAP folders in the classic way some weird things happen, or so it seems

 

Normal under IMAP

As was mentioned, this is saving your draft as you type. If you open the activity window (Leopard still has one), and watch carefully, you'll even see q quick message about saving a draft message. Seems to be a normal thing under IMAP.

 

Is there any setting in Mail or Gmail to turn this "feature" off?
It's annoying to delete all the incomplete versions after sending a mail...

 

I am still getting the exact problems with leopard.
It is annoying to see multiple autosaved unfinished copies of sent messages on gmail.com, it shows only one in the mail.app and the receiver only gets one though.
