I beg to differ. I have yet to see an IMAP client that does not
have the ability to use a drafts folder(except squirrelmail until
a few days ago). If you have a look at the rfc for IMAP v4
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2060.html
You will see that there is actually provision set aside for draft
emails. It is just as much a standard part of IMAP email as trash
and sent items.

If draft functionality should be moved back out to a plugin then
maybe trash and sent functionality should be moved out as well.

I am obviously pro-draft as I wrote it but I did it because I was
so shocked to find an IMAP client that did not have this functionality
at all. The same with mark as read/unread, which IMHO is another
essential tool for an IMAP client.

Just remember we are talking about an IMAP client here!

Sorry if I kick off a storm here, but these are my opinions.
