Depending on the IMAP sever, user=neil@some.univ.edu/ssl is needed.
These days, univs are 'outsourcing' their email servers to Google /
Microsoft and we all know the quality of their IMAP implementation :(
I've to use outlook.com, and it ain't good!

Anyways, for FCC : M S C
then change "Default Fcc" to
{imap.some.univ.edu/user=neil@some.univ.edu/ssl}Sent
(or whatever is you sent mail folder on the server. You may also want
to set Postponed folder and Trash Folder similarly)
