Mail.app Usage Tip

I just figured out that I have been misusing Mail.app for a long, long time. I never could get it to properly save drafts, sent messages, etc. on an IMAP server. It was something I figured that Mail just didn’t do well, and was willing to leave it at that.

Well damn me if I didn’t just find the *Mailbox -> Use This Mailbox For* menu. I selected my respective Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk folders for each of my three IMAP accounts using that menu. Now my sent messages are where I want them. My drafts get stored on the server, and I don’t have local and non-local copies of my Junk folders (which was really annoying).

The real question is, how did I miss this for all that time? This fixes the only real gripes I have about the program, other than its inability to effectively handle my 10,000 mail debian-user mailing list mailbox.
