[Dovecot] Squirrelmail + Dovecot + Maildir

I have been struggling with getting my Fedora 7 box set up to use
dovecot with Squirrelmail and Maildir. It works correctly with the exception of writing outgoing mail to the right folder (.Sent) or drafts (.Drafts). If I send a mail with Mutt, it writes the mail to the right place, so it has to be squirrelmail config or dovecot config. I want to use .Sent for sent-mail
(~user/Maildir/.Sent) and .Drafts for drafts (~user/Maildir/.Drafts).

Here is what I see in /etc/squirrelmail/config.php

$optional_delimiter     = '.';
[snip]
$default_folder_prefix          = '';
$trash_folder                   = 'Trash';
$sent_folder                    = 'Sent';
$draft_folder                   = 'Drafts';
$default_move_to_trash          = true;
$default_move_to_sent           = true;
$default_save_as_draft          = true;

The error in the browser is:

*
ERROR : Bad or malformed request.*

Server responded: {830} BAD Error in IMAP command : Unknown command.

and in the logs I see this:

As you can surmise from the logs, the mail does get sent.

Anybody see my mistake?
