Which version of mozilla are you running? If you're running 0.9.6 there
is a known problem with it not rememberring your selection (I don't
recall the bug number off hand). What you have to do is edit the
prefs.js manually in order for the pref to be rememberred. The line is
as follows:
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.fcc_folder",
"imap:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX/Sent");
That is assuming you've created a folder called Sent on the server,
which it sounds like you have. To setup drafts and templates use the
following lines in your prefs.js file:
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.draft_folder",
"imap:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX/Drafts");
user_pref("mail.identity.id1.stationery_folder",
"imap:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX/Templates");
(of course you have to create these folders yourself just like the sent
folder).
One other thing, make sure mozilla isn't running when you edit the
prefs.js file, otherwise you'll lose your changes when it shuts down.
