Hey guys, I recently started using Entourage with IMAP Gmail, established my account and it seems to be working fine. What bothers me is the Advanced Account settings (Tools\Accounts\Double click on account\Advanced) - how should I set the "Special Folders" and "Delete Options"?

The thing is I checked Google's "Recommended IMAP client settings" page (https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78892#) and while they don't include instructions for Entourage, they do offer "general rule" for mail clients. But it is totally confusing to me.

I don't want to keep unnecessary extra copies of Sent mail or Drafts and these things on two locations, so I'm trying to find optimal settings for my mail client. What should I keep ticked and what should I untick in Entourage Account Settings (under Advanced)?

I couldn't really make out much from the instructions Google provided.......

Thanks in advance.
