Why doesn't the email client know I replied to a message?

I've finally confirmed that if I reply to a message in FirefoxOS email, or forward a message, the message is not saved to my sent mail, nor is it marked as having been replied to/forwarded. Every other IMAP client that I use (OSX Mail, Thunderbird, Squirrel Mail, K9) is able to update message statuses, but the FirefoxOS email client does not seem to.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have a Flame (The Device Info model says "qcom"), running Boot2Gecko 2.0.0.0-prerelease

I always have the issue. Messages that I reply to or forward in the built-in email client never show up as replied or forwarded in other IMAP clients.
