FYI: Outlook seems to have a few problems with IMAP ... specifically not
using the Sent Mail folder correctly (as Joe recently found out).

It's not necessarily "correctly" or "incorrectly" but "differently" <grin>.

Since POP3 accounts are client-based, I guess it's "natural" to save a local
copy in your "Sent" folder. IMAP accounts are server-based, so it's not
"natural" and you have to actually set up a Sent folder on the server and
then create a rule to do the copy.
