I heard that some people find way around for "broken" imap clients (which is almost every single imap client for courier imapd) but I dont know what is it exactly and i'm looking on my own to resolve that situation, if you'll find it please let me know, thanks.

Why isn't it supported? It means that people using Outlook Express IMAP client cannot save their drafts into the server.

Dunno about other imapservers, but courier-imap doesn't seem to mind that you configure OE5 to store Send and Drafts on the mailserver: Tools->Accounts->Mail->Properties->IMAP->Store special folders on server.

However, OE then behaves weird. Sent messages pop up as expected in folder Sent Items (after hitting F5), but drafted mails, saved with File->Save doesn't; that is, the folder gets highlighted when Synchronize'ing, showing #of drafts, but clicking the folder removes the highlight and reveals 'There are no items in this view', though all folders have been marked for synchronization.

I find it no easier to configure Netscape (4.77) for such folders...

Seems OE5 will easily allow Sent and Draft folder on the imapserver, but only Sent works. Actually, if I configure OE5 to store Drafts on the imapmailserver, drafts doesn't seem to be stored in either Drafts on Localmail or in Drafts on the imapserver, when I choose File->Save .

Anybody gotten any further?
