Now, the drafts folder is no longer created, but the folder archive is still created. I think this has something to do with my archiving of sent messages. I have set the group to save to, but I haven't changed the main setting, which, I read in the manual, is set to a local folder like ~/Mail/archive. If I am using an IMAP folder to save my sent messages, what should I use in place of all that stuff? [I am so glad to have this fixed.
