Summary
When accessing your email account on your Apple iPhone using IMAP it does not save emails to the correct Drafts, Sent or Trash folder or does not save draft, sent or trash emails to the server at all.
Cause
iPhone uses its own set of folders for draft, sent and trash folders which are different to other email applications. iPhone can also be configured not to save a copy of the emails to the server and instead save them only on the iPhone.

- Tap your Ecenica email account.
