My email hosting provider advised that he had installed "last night's" 
code - that night being the evening of February 20th - which had two 
cleanups related to the proxy code:

     * src/login-common/login-proxy.c: and fix for last cleanup..

2006-02-20 17:14  Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi>
     * src/login-common/login-proxy.c: Minor cleanups

Have tested it for much of this morning, afternoon and evening and 14 
times out of 15 it will copy to the sent folder fine and then after 
sending the message it will seemingly hang on sending (but it actually 
does send the message). I then hit cancel and then I am advised by a 
prompt that it could not copy to the Sent folder. I hit retry and it 
fails again. I hit retry again and seemingly a failure again to copy and 
then I hit retry and it works. I end up having two copies of the email 
in the Sent folder but only one actual message is sent (this is with 
emails between a couple of my accounts at the same mail hosting company).

Reverting back to the standard (non-beta) proxy of my mailhosting 
company everything works fine with no issues of  this type at all.
