I have Gmail (IMAP) setup to retrieve my AOL mail via POP...but it doesn't also collect any messages I've sent (or will send in the future) using AOL's SMTP server.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way in which I could setup a rule, or perhaps even use an AppleScript, to have Mail v.3.4 on my Leopard 10.5.4 machine automatically forward (or better yet), simply "copy" all messages sent using AOL's SMTP servers to my Gmail account...

Ideally, it would be better to copy rather than forward these messages because they then would maintain their date sent, as well as the proper To/From fields...(Copy meaning selecting an email or emails then from the Messages menu, choosing "Copy To..."

Any thoughts on if this is possible? Thanks!

POP isn't designed to sync with server-side sent items. Normally sent messages are stored locally if it's a POP account on an email program or on the server if using webmail. If you're using Mail, check your local Sent items. To get them on your gmail IMAP sent items folder, just select them in Mail and copy/move to Gmail.

For those still on AOL, the best way to do it is what you mentioned -- enable/configure AOL's IMAP.
