I'm using Courier 0.39 as IMAP server. As most of IMAP servers it doesn't let
creating folders in Root, but instead in Inbox.

After I'm trying to send message from Mozilla, it wants to put it in Sent
folder, but doesn't find it and attempts to create, unsuccessfully, gives error,
and doesn't let to save message and close the window.

Is it possible to specify root for special folders, so it will use INBOX.Sent
and INBOX.Drafts?

Thank you

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.New message
2.Try to save or send

Actual Results:  Error - can't create IMAP folder ("Sent" or "Drafts")

Expected Results:  Use INBOX.Sent and INBOX.Drafts
