I composed pretty large message and then send it, actually email has been sent, but occured error "Problems with putting email in Sent folder". Several times i pressed ok, but then cancel. So composer is closed and I lost all text, when I've checked Sent I havent found this email. Is there any place where my email could be found? Or how to fix this situation, when IMAP if off, but SMTP not, I mean to save locally if IMAP down?
