Sent mail not syncing with watch

[dtancu]

Anyone encountered this issue?
iOS 11.0.1 on iPhone, Watch os 4 on AW3 GPS.
Outlook 365 Exchange account for work on the iPhone, the Watch app on the phone does not even see the “sent” folder in the list of mail sync folders, hence I cannot add it to the Watch for syncing. The Watch sends mail alright but I cannot see the sent mails folder on the Watch....

Alright, found the reason, for anyone that might have the same question:
The watch can only display contents of mail folders that are present on the phone. Any folders that are stored on the servers, it cannot show.
Examples are iCloud sent/drafts/trash (if the setting on the iPhone is to store those messages on Apple servers, not locally), O365 mail folders stored on MS servers etc.
If I set the storage locally, I can obviously make the watch show those mail folders. Unfortunately, my work account is set to only store on server except for the inbox...

On the other hand, I see as obvious to store as much as possible on server, otherwise different devices would have different content in each mail folder. I wonder if the LTE watch would gain the ability to show mail folders stored on server, using directly the LTE to connect.
