(Visual FoxPro) 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.
