Description
When I configure an IMAP server using the Mail interface that comes with Haiku, it subscribes to all the folders that I have on the server. For example, Sent, containing copies of sent mail. I configure all my clients to save mail on the server. So, when mail is sent, a copy is saved in Sent, which is on the IMAP server.
I've configured the E-mail preference to have the Destination for Outgoing to be the Sent folder that was created when the account was configured.
When I send email in Haiku, a copy is saved in that Sent folder. However, it isn't then uploaded to the server, to be stored in the Sent folder on the server.
Similarly, if I want to save an email I've received in a folder, I can drag and drop it from the Inbox to that folder. That email is not then stored on the folder on the server.
I think that downloading all the messages from the IMAP server folders suggests that the local folder will be synchronized with the server folder. I think that doesn't go in both directions and it should.
Thank you.
This is essential to working IMAP client. Obviously, there are no resources to cover all possible IMAP (like Pine/Alpine) but sync between client folders and server is crucial if one uses more than one device. Not updating server folder leaves the email on a device, if the device is lost/formatted/new Haiku installed, the changes are gone.
