(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Marius Maraloi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

The mail server is a imap.
Full permisions on the folders were given to subscribers.
Subscribers are able to read/write/create/delete/move messages without problems,
but if mozilla-mail/thunderbird tries to save there a sent message, it can't
save it there.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a mail folder with full r/w perms on the imap server
2. subscribe to it and make sure u can access it doing operations on messges
3. make it the folder where the sent messages are saved and try to send something

Actual Results:  
The mail client displays "Copying message to sent folder" and it can't do it
The "Place a copy in:" option in the "Copies and Folders" section changes by
itself after i set it correctly.


Expected Results:  
The options set should NOT change by themselves.

Observed on Thunderbird AND Mozilla-mail, on Linux AND Windoze.

Reporter, does the issue still occur in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.16)
