No, therefore there must another program / script / cronjob / way.

"Sent" sounds like "Thunderbird" sent mailfolder. Does your users have 
direct access to the filesystem? Can the users access the "full 
filesystem" with IMAP? So one of them could use "~/Maildir/cur" as mail 
root in the mail client or something like that.
