Bug 802359 has landed, providing support for saving sent messages to the Sent folder on IMAP servers. This is done using our IMAP APPEND command which was initially introduced for our unit tests and so does not have a 'check' mode of operation that does something useful. This can result in effective data-loss (like bug 804904 for move/delete) because if we encounter a failure when appending the message, we will give up on appending the message. The result is that the user will have sent the message, but not know that they sent the message.
Depends on: 802359
Per triage: while this is not blocking the release, it's a minor dataloss bug we'd like to see fixed after blockers are done.
