(4th attempt to submit this bug report)
Editing an e-mail for a long time leads to copies in DraftBox which do
not get automatically removed while editing or after the e-mail is sent.
For example, editing this very e-mail leads to the copies as in the
attached screenshot.
Here's my current configuration (the sensitive parts of the local path
have been anonymized) in

Here is what Rambler's server can do:
$ openssl s_client -connect imap.rambler.ru:993
…
a1 CAPABILITY
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE QUOTA AUTH=PLAIN
a1 OK completed
Related: http://bugs.debian.org/915570 (but the report there is not
specific to Rambler).
The support of the e-mail provider said they could not reproduce the bug
and suggested that it had something to do with my client's settings. I'm
opposed to experimenting with the settings blindly; I'd like to know
what the Thunderbird maintainers have to say on the issue first. (Of
course, I could try nondefault workarounds, such as storing drafts
locally and not on the server, but this would be uncomfortable for me in
the long run.)
Gratefully
