How to keep sent mails in cyrus

[Marcelino Vallejo]

Hi Oliver:

Assuming you already have created and subscribed a Sent folder under 
your INBOX (lets say manually or automatically by means of the 
autocreatefolder and autosubscribe patch); you must tell your email 
client (if it let do you so) where to save a copy of all sent mail.

By example in Mozilla (wich I use and love) go:
Edit-> Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings -> Your-account -> Copies & 
Folders: Section "When sending messages, automatically:"
There you choose Other and navigate through the combos till you find the 
desired folder; INBOX/Sent in most of the cases, but you can do whatever 
you want.
Same with Draft and Templates folders, in sections below of the same screen.

If you are using Outlook Express; go your account properties
Select IMAP
Fill the Root folder field with: INBOX/
Leave the 2 checkboxes checked (Search new messages in all folders & 
Store Special Folders on Imap Server) (I am translating from my Spanish 
version Outlook)
Replace the Sent elements field with the word Sent (or the name of your 
Sent folder under your INBOX)
Do the same with the Drafts folder, pointing to wahtever you want.

In Outlook 2000 and XP, yopu can not make this adjustments, it only 
stores the sent mails locally, so the only way to achieve something 
similar is to generate a rule that moves every sent mail to the Sent 
folder under Imap, but first go to your account properties an fill the 
Root folder field with INBOX/ at the IMAP section (you will notice the 
difference between Outlook Express and Outlook 2000 here)

Note that th notattion INBOX/ or INBOX. depends in your imapd settings.

Hope this helps.

Regards
