Doh, that may very well be the issue here.

I didn't realize Gmail was branded differently in some countries. But I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. And if it did, then I'd expect it to follow through in everything, including the IMAP folder names.

In which case, [Gmail]/Drafts is probably the more common one seen in the wild by users, but a handful in the "other places" may see [Google Mail]/Drafts.
