View 'lost' iPhone IMAP mail folders
Authored by: justinsail on Aug 02, '07 12:42:47PM

I read this post with interest because I've found something else weird about IMAP behavior with the iPhone. I have three accounts set up, all IMAP.

The "Default Account" (according to th eiPhoneMail preferences) has a new IMAP folder that was recently created called "INBOX" with "Drafts" and "Sent" inside it.

The weird thing is that I already have a drafts and sent folder that work great with Apple Mail (desktop) and usually works great with the iPhone. The weird thing is (and I JUST figured out this pattern) that when I send a message that began in another iphone application (like Notes or Photos) it uses this self-created Sent and Drafts folder... but when I begin the message from the iPhone Mail application it uses the correct versions. Very weird. It's not harmful because I can now see those new folders from AppleMail and move the messages into the correct sent folder with no problem, but I thought I'd share and see if anyone else has that same experience...
