Here are my account settings from Thunderbird. They work.

IMAP server mail.messagingengine.com ionm...@eml.cc 993 SSL/TLS
SMTP server smtp.pobox.com i...@pobox.com 587 STARTTLS

So doesn't that indicate that I have an accessible "Sent" folder? But
here's more. In Thunderbird settings Copies and Folders are all on
Pobox. So perhaps that's the problem. How would I define those in my
.muttrc?


Well if I don't have access to it why does...

:~> echo "" | mutt -s "subject" -i file.txt ionm...@gmx.us" work when it
uses the same .muttrc file?

Fcc'ing to an IMAP mailbox is not supported in batch mode.  So the
batch mode send is not trying to record the sent message to '+Sent'.

Thank you that explains a lot.
On Fastmail, for instance, the correct setting is:
  set record = "+Sent Items"
but perhaps their 'pobox' users are configured differently.

I changed it to "+Sent Items".  Nothing changed.

Did you check that you have a "Sent" or "Sent Items" folder, that you
can access and write to?  Perhaps you could try another mailbox that
you are sure exists and you can write to?

It may also be useful to run mutt in debug mode, e.g. with '-d 2' as
an argument.  If it's compiled with debug mode, that will generate a
file, ~/.muttdebug0 with commands sent to the SMTP and IMAP servers. 
Perhaps that will give a clue as to where the error is coming from.

Unfortunately DEBUG was not defined during compilation, and I don't
think I am sufficiently advance to compile it.
