[Dovecot] dead bodies stacking up in Drafts folder

[Charles Bueche]

Hi again,

Thanks for all the high-quality feedback. Using a local folder  
(instead of storing "Drafts" on the IMAP server) solved the issue.

BTW : thanks Timo and others for this amazing piece of code. It's so  
fast, even for IMAP boxes containing 20'000+ messages, that I don't  
see any reason to use local mailboxes anymore.

Best regards,
Charles
