Sending mail through IMAP fails
Hello. I am having trouble setting up Mutt to send mail through IMAP on a
university server. I can read mail without trouble. When I finish composing and
type `y' I get `Sending message' and `Mail sent' quickly but no messages have
reached their targets. I've emailed myself on the IMAP server, and sent mail
to
other ac.uk accounts, plus hotmail and googlemail, without success. The debug
file (level 2) seems to show that mail was sent.
Here is the .muttrc file. I'm using 1.5.15 and Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04.

I started from the example muttrc of Roland Buehlmanns, but trimmed it while
looking for the problem. The reduced file above seems to check out against the
instructions at http://mutt.sourceforge.net/imap/
Since I can read/move/delete mail, the problem can't be access to the IMAP
server as such.
Can anyone spot what is going wrong?
I don't want to get involved with fetchmail/exim4/... at this stage if I can
avoid it.
Thanks in advance, K
