And a dumb question from me: /home/equaeghe/Mail/sent does contain the
maildir subfolders cur, new and tmp?

> :sent_source: maildir:/home/equaeghe/Mail/sent

Ok, this looks fine as long as /home/equaeghe/Mail/sent is a proper
maildir setup.

Sorry, I meant normal in the sense that sending the mail and storing
mail in the sent source are two separate (non-atomic) actions.  When
you hit the send key, the message is dumped into $sendmail for
transport.  It's then written to the sent source.  These are
independent.  One may succeed while the other fails.
