IMAP on Windows 10 email app
Hi,
I'm developing a technical walkthrough for adding my employer's IMAP accounts to the Windows 10 native email app. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any option to configure a 'Root Folder Path' or 'IMAP Path Prefix.' The app is also missing other related settings for 'Mailbox Behaviors.'
As a result, the test email account does not save copies of sent messages. Is there a workaround for IMAP, or are we stuck with POP?
Thanks,
Brad

Have you tried installing Mozilla Thunderbird? It is an email client that works very well with IMAP? I haven't tried it on 10 since I don't have/want Windows 10, but it probably works.

Sorry, I've been asked to work with this specific email client, and wanted to know if there is any way to properly configure it so SENT items will sync.

Thanks. I'm pretty confident that the Windows 10 mail app simply doesn't offer the folder / sync management features that our ISP requires. This is a pretty serious oversight, making recent updates to Mac Mail look absolutely perfect by comparison.
IMAP in Outlook 2010 and works fine, since there is a 'Root Folder Path' and customization options for the location of Sent Items.
I'm going to complete my walkthrough for the ISP's web site, with a big "Not Recommended" disclaimer.

Confirms what I suspected.
I haven't tried 2010 but prior versions didn't seem to work well. I dumped Outlook for Thunderbird and have been perfectly fine.
Email Clients
An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
