Thank you for the detailed explanation! That does explain what I'm
seeing, though I have to say it doesn't make "sense", as such: I'd
expect more support on the server for structured mail storage.

That said, I mostly keep things in folders on the local store, so it
doesn't matter too much.

One weird thing: it's strange that there's a sent-mail folder by default
in WebMail, but it doesn't actually put sent-mail into it. Huh...

Thank you again!
