There is no IMAP client that I'm aware of that can 'save' a message to to the Sent folder. What makes the most sense to me is for the IMAP server to have a 'submission service' that can be used by the client *instead* of defining/using an smtp server directly - then the IMAP server could take care of both sending the message and saving the copy to the Sent folder. -- Best regards, Charles
