9483 - Copy to Sent folder fails under some conditions

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect, P3)

Description

I haven't tested all possibilities, but if my first server is a POP server and
my second one is an IMAP server, I don't have a Sent folder in my local POP file
area, I do have a Sent folder on my IMAP server, and I send a message, it
doesn't get copied to the IMAP server Sent folder. I think it's supposed to,
based on mails we got this week.

I'm not sure IMAP copies are working yet. Jeff, are they?

Copy to Imap Sent folder is not ready yet. I am still working on the protocol
side.

Oh, I thought that copying to the IMAP sent folder was working.

Jeff's comments explain this...you will need a sent folder in your local
mailstore to have this work.

That much definitely works. Marking verified.

Move/Copy messages is a little bit different than save message copy to
Sent/Drafts/Templates folder. They are using a diffent mechanism. Internally, we
call it CopyFileMessage(). Pop3 is done. There still is a fair amount of work to
make imap CopyFileMessage() work. I need to implement the "append" command for
imap protocol.
