Deleting all your profiles is not recommended.

I know there is a default profile so it's probably important, but I didn't feel I needed one. This caused that when I was sending email, the email was not saved in the sent folder.

Cypht should be able to function without a profile or prevent the user from deleting the last profile.

Without a profile Cypht cannot determine which IMAP server is the "right" one to save a sent copy in, and it can't determine the sent folder (depending on the IMAP server, some can be queried for a sent folder some cannot).

Maybe an option here is to provide a warning and a dialog to manually select a sent folder to save to if no profile is being used.

@jasonmunro I think it should fall back to defaults instead of a warning ? Much easier to maintain.

I just found this issue after struggling to figure out why the emails were not going to the Sent folder and did not know a profile was required for this when I installed Cypht. I think an easy way to introduce this to new users would to put a link on the Home page under sources letting the user know they do not have a profile set up like below:

@kk6mrp: Thank you for this useful and easy to implement idea. The underlying problem has been bugging me for a while but I couldn't think of an elegant solution like yours.

Todo: if all profiles are deleted, there should at least be a warning to the user. (can't save sent email)
