I'm not sure I agree here.

Still pondering, but... We offer per account Drafts folders. And I don't
yet see, why either one should be limited to a single, particular
machine in a, say, IMAP environment. Sent is not. Drafts is not. Why
should Templates be?

Based on this approach, I believe it actually should be per account,
being configurable exactly like the other "default" folders. Also, this
UI part should go there.

After all, Templates are Drafts that do not "delete them selves", right?
