Oulook express when using Imap tries to save the sent mail in the sent-mail
folder on the Imap server. This won't work with Cyrus Imap since users
can't save mail in the top level folder, only under INBOX. Since Outlook
does't allow the sent-mail folder to contain "." (periods) in the account
setup info, you can't redirect that folder to INBOX.Sent Mail UNLESS you
make a change in the registry settings for the account info for Outlook. I
can't remember where that setting but I'm sure you can locate it on the
Internet if you do a search there. To prevent the error, just uncheck the
"save special folders on the Imap server" checkbox in your account settings.
This will then save sent-mail and drafts to the local sent-mail folder.
