Special-use is only used to select a default mailbox in the  
preferences page.  The locally configured drafts value takes preference.

Note that special-use is NOT designed to be used automatically by a  
MUA to configure mailboxes without user intervention.  The RFC is  
clear that these labels are intended as "advice"; "advice" !=  
"automatic configuration".

Someday it might be nice to display a configuration on initial login  
and/or if a change in special use mailbox status on the server is  
detected, and display the special use mailboxes as "suggested" values.  
  But we obviously don't have this right now.

Of course, since your are defining 'Drafts' as the draft folder for  
that backend, not 'draft'.
