Thanks so much.
In fact, this problem happens even with pop3 emails. When I send an email,
using a pop account, either from Outlook or Mail (both are apps on iphone), the
email is saved in the app and I can see it on the webmail in the folder sent,
but Gnus cannot fetch the email. However, if I send from the webmail Gnus
fetches it!!
So, in both cases the email is saved to the folder sent of the pop account!!
