Hello, Newbie Postbox member here.

I've successfully added my iCloud email but although I've now got all my email user folders copied over (some automatically some not quite so automatically!) my Sent folder did not transfer.  Postbox instructions state that I need to export this from Mail and then Import but the emails will then appear in 'Imported folder'.  I want them to appear in the Sent folder and for subsequent emails sent from Postbox to be added to them.  Am I hoping for too much?

You should be okay. Just right-click and move from imported folder to sent folder. You can verify Sent folder for future use by checking Tools>Options>Accounts>Copies & Folders. 
Regards,

Thank you.  This worked.  I do have an issue that only the last two years (approx) were imported from my Apple Mail iCloud account and on further investigation all older sent messages have disappeared from Apple Mail account.  I had simply experted the sent folder from Mail and imported to Postbox.  Interestingly, I was checking out BlueMail last week and all the folders, incl Sent folder, appeared instantly there without having to do any exporting, importing or 'subscribing'.
