Re: IMAP not defaulting sent/drafts folder

Thank you for responding,

1) Symptoms are that when I create an email and save it, the draft shows up
in the Drafts folder under the Personal Folder header and not the IMAP
header. When I send an email, the email shows up under the Send folder of
the Personal Folder header and not the IMAP header. And when I try to delete
and email it does not delete it.

2) I am using Outlook 2003 with SBS 03 running the Exchagne Server. There
is only one account existing in the Outlook configuration, the IMAP account.
Since there is only one account, Accounts -> IMAP does not show up when I
create a new email.

I have setup and resetup the Outlook client several times and always get the
result above.

Thanks
