No, smtp is a protocol to send email. You want to set up a maildrop either 
in inbox-path or any of your incoming folders.

Do you want to create a maildrop for the sent mail folder because you do 
not want to have sent mail stored in the server? If so, then set up the 
default-fcc option to match the location of your sent-mail folder as a 
full path, for example

Default Fcc (File carbon copy) = /home/chris/maildrop/sent-mail
