Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
Gmail offers POP3 & SMTP for their accounts so that you don't have to use
their web interface but can use your own mail client (Thunderbird) on your
PC.
In this setup, if you send a mail from your mail client using their smtp
service, a copy of the mail you sent gets saved in their system so that if
you access the gmail web interface, you can see the mail you sent from your
mail client available in the 'sent folder' of the web interface.

This is what I want to achieve.

Using an IMAP server and a web interface (say squirrelmail) does the same
thing as long as you use the web interface to send the mail. Not your own
MUA. This is not what I'm looking for.

Mihira.
