Default Setting up Gmail account

OK I've set up my account per the instructions on Google's site. However I can't configure one of the recommended IMAP client settings. It says to set OE to save drafts to the [Gmail]/Drafts folder but I can't seem to find where to do that. Can someone please let me know where that setting is? I've checked in the options and properties of the IMAP account and still don't see.

Here's the link for the recommended settings so you can see for yourself.

Thanks in advance,
Wy

Default Setting up Gmail account

That's what I'm trying to do. Where in OE do I make that setting change?
The instructions say it has to been done within OE but I can't figure out or
find where to change the folder. Am I making sense or not?

Default Setting up Gmail account

I never used Gmail, so bear with me. This is /not/ what you want, so do the
opposite.

Open GMAIL in the mailboxes drawer to reveal the Gmail mailboxes. Select
Drafts, and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox Use This Mailbox For, and
select Drafts.

Looks like you set it up as an IMAP account, not a POP3 account, yes?
