Thanks again for all your help! You just solved my issue. I guess I need to actually go read about all of the supporting software components so I don't drive everyone nuts with my questions :). Actually I wasn't using the altnamespace:yes in my Cyrus config. I added it to my /etc/imapd.conf file and now I can even save drafts!
Thank you so much!

You placed "drafts" after the entire email address when it should be after the user portion of the email address. And, "inbox" is not required as it is the top-level folder. I also assume that you are using "altnamespace: yes" in your cyrus config. You are correct in your assumption that UIDFieldName corresponds to the login and MailFieldNames corresponds to the email addresses, however, by how your cyrus install is setup, both are the same. You would login to cyrus with your email address. If you use that type of setup, you'll need to set UIDFieldName and MailFieldName as the email address.
