In the real world most road warriors use POP, not IMAP, and those with
consistent connectivity that do make use of IMAP do it via web mail. So
the "sent items" folder isn't an issue. Note the OP mentioned "laptop
users" as his submitters, not desktop users. "Laptop" implies roaming,
or he'd have used a different descriptive term.
More and more people are roaming users. Roaming users shall have their mail in
the server : so IMAP is the choice. Some use webmail, and some use heavy clients
(Thunderbird, Outlook, ...), the latter are people who need to work both online
and offline.
Yes... storing messages in "sent messages" folder may be an issue, not only when
the IMAP server is down, but also when it's overloaded.

Reindl, nobody here has ever heard of virtualization, so it's good that
you give us all a lesson with every 3rd post. ;)
Hmmmm... tell this to vmware/zimbra guys... 8-)
Just my two cents...
