Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 108229

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

i use an IMAP mail address and i don't want copies placed in the SENT folder. 
Under Mail & Newsgroup account settings > Copies and Folders i uncheck the 
option PLACE A COPY IN > "SENT" FOLDER on

i quit mozilla, restart and the option is checked again. 

i also tried setting the option to PLACE A COPY IN > OTHER
and BCC to another address.

everytime the settings revert to their original state, and mozilla tries to 
put a copy in the SENT folder of my IMAP account.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create IMAP account
2. MAIL & newsgroup settings
3. Copies & folders
4. uncheck "Place a copy in"
5. OK your way out
6. restart mozilla
7. see what COPY SENT settings are

Actual Results:  Place a copy in reverts to original state : it will attempt 
to copy a message to the SENT folder of my IMAP account

Expected Results:  it shouldn't create copies in the SENT folder of my IMAP 
account

I have several Gbyte free on my computer

This bugs often means that it is unclear whether a message is really sent or 
not because: 

1) mozilla will try to copy to SENT (can't turn that off, this bug report)
2) mozilla cannot copy to SENT message resulting in incomplete messages,  
(other bug reports)

resulting in LONG copying times, ergo sending mail may seem unreliable to a 
user and uncertain if message is really delivered
