The "Sent" folder and missing folders added via telnet problem has been resolved.
Wrong... what you describe is NOT a 'resolution', it is a horribly cumbersome workaround to a TBird CONFIGURATION ERROR.
If you have to do the below, the TBird is MISCONFIGURED.
As requested, please provide specific and full details of how you have it configured...
For the future, noobs please note: If you click on "Sent" in TBird and get: "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Mailbox doesn't exist: Sent." then you got to add the folder manually via telnet:
telnet server 143 x login username pass x create Sent logout
And THEN SUBSCRIBE to that via File->Subscribe.
This is ridiculous... you should NEVER have to do this in TBird...
When I set up someone, I compose a new message, click 'Save - the Drafts folder is auto created... click Save As Template - the Templates folder is auto created - Send the message, and the 'Sent' folder is auto-created.
If this does not work as I just descrivbed for you, the SOMETHING IS WRONG.
Of course, if you are OK with such a ridiculous workaround, by all means, don't let me stop you... ;)
