how to remove Gmail "sent message" label

Hi all,


I am using Lion in one of my Mac and I found one problem

I am using my Gmail account in Lion Mail


When I use Lion Mail to send/reply a mail, Gmail on brower will show a "sent message" label on that mail.


What should I do to prevent it?

I mean I do not want to see the "sent message" label on browser, after I sent a mail using Lion Mail.


Thank you !!

iMac 20, iphone 4, ipad.

Simply three steps repeated here:

(1) click on a folder "Sent Mail" under [Gmail] and go to the Mailbox menu in the menu bar. Hover over "Use This Mailbox For" and click Sent. This will make Apple Mail use Gmail's Sent Mail folder for sent messages instead of creating its own.

(2) A label called "Sent Messages" will show up with your other custom labels.

(3) Drag all the messages from the "Sent Messages" label to the "Sent Mail" label, to make sure they're all there

(4) You can then delete the "Sent Messages" label.
