Double check the mailbox behaviour. The following are special folders and your device may need help mapping them to the correct IMAP folders on the server. You will need to select each one in turn and ensure it is mapped to the correct folder on the server. Below is a list of what these folders are normally named on the Shasta E-mail server.
- Drafts Mailbox → Drafts
- Sent Mailbox → Sent Items
- Deleted Mailbox → Deleted Items
- Archive Mailbox → Archive
Although it is not selected above, it should be noted that the junkmail folder is another one of these special folders, and on the Shasta E-mail server it is named Junk E-mail.

You are now done. You can exit E-mail settings.
