Title:
  IMAP: Mutt fails to save sent messages when drafted by a different
  IMAP client

Status in “mutt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mutt

    Installed: 1.5.17+20080114-1ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1.5.17+20080114-1ubuntu1

  Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS
  Release:	8.04

  For a given IMAP account, when a message is drafted by a client other
  than mutt, and then that same message is recalled by mutt, edited, and
  sent, the final message is not saved in the $record mailbox. It is
  silently lost. This happens even though $record is properly set and
  email drafted and sent with mutt exclusively is properly saved.

  To reproduce:
  1. Draft an email in an IMAP account with a client other mutt, e.g. thunderbird or webmail.
  2. Save the draft in the drafts folder. This folder should be be the same as $postponed in muttrc
  3. recall the drafted email using mutt
  4. send the email
  5. the email is silently lost and fails to be saved in $record

  It is not uncommon to use multiple different clients with an IMAP
  account (e.g. webmail, mutt, thunderbird).
