@cybmp3 From your message, I understand that you're not using a mail client to send your emails. Maybe I'm wrong, tell me. If those are emails sent using a script or something automated, it can't be done. SMTP is a protocol made to send email, that's all. It doesn't store them. For that, you need IMAP (let's forget about POP).

So that's something to see with wordpress, for them to support IMAP storage when emails are sent. Not an issue with Modoboa.

correct.
But if wordpress uses gmail's smtp protocol to send mail, you can find the sent mail in the sentbox of gmail.

Gmail is everything but standard SMTP et IMAP.
We shouldn't store email sent via SMTP. If we do this, when you'll send emails with your mail client, you'll have duplicates in your sendbox : one mail stored via your mail client, another one with a trick on SMTP.
