Fcc'ing to an IMAP mailbox is not supported in batch mode.  So the batch 
mode send is not trying to record the sent message to '+Sent'.

Did you check that you have a "Sent" or "Sent Items" folder, that you 
can access and write to?  Perhaps you could try another mailbox that you 
are sure exists and you can write to?

It may also be useful to run mutt in debug mode, e.g. with '-d 2' as an 
argument.  If it's compiled with debug mode, that will generate a file, 
~/.muttdebug0 with commands sent to the SMTP and IMAP servers.  Perhaps 
that will give a clue as to where the error is coming from.
