[Users] Some imap questions

[Peter Richards]

Hi,

Even if I use either the email address setup for the IMAP account or
the username (email) for the IMAP server as the "From", plus specify
in the 'Advanced' section of the account config for the IMAP account
'where' to put sent emails, any sent emails are being filed in the
normal 'Sent' folder and not in the IMAP Sent folder.
