[Bug 1027564] [NEW] when using imap against gmail, drafts are stored multiple times and not removed

[Jeff Abrahamson]

Public bug reported:

When composing mail in thunderbird with (imap, gmail), drafts are
correctly stored in [Google Mail]/Drafts.  But a single message may be
stored multiple times as multiple message drafts instead of multiple
times as the same message.  And on sending, the draft is often not
deleted, resulting in a Drafts folder with quite a lot of garbage in it.
Somewhat worse, the garbage incorrectly gives the impression that the
original mails were not sent.
