            Bug ID: 346037
           Summary: Option for saving a copy of Sent E-mails on the IMAP
                    server should be available
           Product: KMail Mobile
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mer
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: shashank at chintal.in

This occurs with the binaries in
plasma-active-4-armv7hl-google-nexus7_2013-12-27_2.tar.gz , which is the latest
available binary for plasma-active available. The device used is the Nexus 7
(2012) (grouper)

When configuring a Sending Account (Transport), the option of where to save a
copy sent emails is unusable. It is set to a default of Local Folders :
sent-emails, and does not allow any other save location.

With unstable software especially, and at that software meant to run on mobile
devices (and therefore is probably not going to be the primary e-mail
hub/client), this is a serious shortcoming. The sent e-mails _HAVE_ to be saved
in the corresponding IMAP folder's sent emails folder - or atleast the option
to do so must exist. 

Gmail and Google Apps seem to handle this saving via the Google SMTP server
itelf - when the SMTP is used, a copy is automatically saved in the Gmail
accounts sent folder. This is not the case for various other providers,
partiularly those used by businesses and institutions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose new email
2. In the menu, Configure Transports, select the appropriate transport, and in
Advanced try to change the save location for the transport.


Actual Results:  
Nothing happens. No drop down menu or text editing capability.

Expected Results:  
The option to choose a (subscribed) IMAP folder should be available.
