Quoting Marc Perkel <marc@perkel.com>:
- SMAP allows a single transaction to save a new message in the "Sent" folder, and mail it to its designated recipients. IMAP clients need to transmit the message a second time, using SMTP, requiring twice as much bandwidth and time as SMAP to do the same thing.
This would save bandwidth _if_ you use a remote sent-mail folder. Other than that, I see no reason/advantage for it...
At best, it introduces problems like handling the case where one operation (sending it) works but the other (saving it to sent-mail) fails. How do you resolve that?
