Send Email and Save Copy to "Sent" Mailbox

Sends an email and places a copy in the "Sent" mailbox on an IMAP server.

This example demonstrates how to send an email and then upload a copy to an IMAP mail server's "Sent" mailbox. Note: You may need to create a "Sent" mailbox on your IMAP server prior to running this example. You may already have a mailbox named something different -- perhaps "Sent Items".

Important: If your mail server is POP3, the "Sent Items" mailbox is actually a file on your local computer managed by your email client, such as Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird. This example does not save emails to Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird "Sent Items" local files.

    print "Component unlock failed" + "\n"
