  The standard headers doesn't have the details saved in the special
header. Have you seen them?

  Anyway the server must not remove headers sent by the client unless
they have invalid data (8-bit data) which is not the case. Which IMAP
server is that which removes client data without warning or error?

  There's no place in the RFCs (3501/2600) that allows that kind of 
server behaviour, so it's either a bug or a stupid feature of that server.
But clearly not a claws-mail bug.

  Since you have changed the title I guess you don't want to close this
report, which has become a feature request in fact, so tagging accordingly.
