Description Enver ALTIN 2006-09-03 23:36:25 UTC 
When I create an IMAP account, I can set Drafts and Sent folders to be used. But then if the SMTP session fails, outgoing messages are left at local folders/Outbox. I think it would be wise to be able to select per-account Outbox folder.

I don't think it's wise to copy outgoing messages to a remote mail store.  Plus, our mail composer now sends messages directly rather than depositing them in an outbox folder.

Closing as WONTFIX.

Incidentally, I've filed a new feature request on GitLab, without knowing about this issue.
