Moving files to imap folders

As much as I shouldnt suggest a M$ product..

Ordinary Outlook allows you to "post" to a mail folder. At the raw IMAP
level it looks like a mail message but you can embedd anything you like
within the post object. Note that it is still difficult however to
search inside these "messages" if you are looking for specific content.
The data gets saved inside the good old winmail.dat/RTF "attachment".

Another simple way is to create a message, attach your file, save it as
a draft and then move it to the folder where you want to save it..

Cheers Bob
