Build 1999073011M9/Necko: Win32/NT4

Overview Description: Save as Draft fails unless the prefs file has atleast 1
POP and another account defined. It doesn't matter what the other account is
(POP, IMAP or News).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a prefs file with 1 POP account only (or 1 IMAP or 2 IMAP accounts)
2. Open Mail
3. Create a new message by selecting the "New Message" button, address it, type
a subject and a short message.
4. In the Compose window select File/Save as Draft. The Compose window should
close by itself.
5. Go to the Draft folder

Actual Results: Notice the message is not saved to the Draft folder.

Expected Results:The message should have been saved to the Draft folder.

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On:
Win32/NT4, using the last non-necko build on 7/28pm, exhibits the same problem.

Additional Scenarios: Created a variety of prefs with the following results -
- 1 pop, fails
- 1 imap, fails
- 2 imap, fail
- 2 pop, works
- 1 pop, 1 imap, works
- 1 pop, 1 news, works

Note: Haven't tried Linux or Mac yet.

I tried to duplicate this problem using the 8/02pm build but I couldn't, it kept
saving messages to the Draft and Template folders. I noticed that the pref being
used didn't have the mail.default_fcc_uri statement.

Prefs that included the mail.default_fcc_uri statement failed when saving as
Draft or Template. Here is a sample:
`user_pref("mail.default_fcc_uri", "mailbox://qatest20@nsmail-2/sent");`

Yes, this was a problem, but checkins today should have fixed it. Basically, I
was going after the wrong folder (most of the time, the Sent folder) every
time.

Verified Fixed. Save as Draft saved the messages to the Draft folder as expected
with or without using the mail.default_fcc_uri pref statement.
