multiple saved e-mails in IMAP Drafts -folder and not deleted after send e-mail

I configured TB since many years to store my draft e-mails not locally but in IMAP by choosing the correct folder in the TB configuration settings in 'Copies and Folders', 'Drafts and Templates', 'Other'. This worked fine upon a few updates of TB back.

Now on every saving interval as configured for 'Automatically save every x minutes' in the general account settings a new draft is saved in stead of replacing the original draft. Also the draft(s) aren't automatically deleted after sending the final e-mail. I found out that all of this functions well when I changed the configuration to store the drafts in a local drafts folder. But I want my old setup back.

I'm using an updated W10 system and the most recent TB client version which is 78.5.0 (64-bits) but I don't know which version did function well.

I did found a post about the simular problem and I tried all the suggested solutions but none of them did help. I'm an experiencied IT-engineer myself and do help out a lot of other people solving problems considering POP/IMAP and e-mail clients on all kind of different OS platforms but this problem goes over my head!

If anyone can help me out I would be grateful.
