"Sent Messages" was/is used in some clients for Sent, guess its also in
the example, looks like the new client versions with xlist etc changed
this sometimes,too ( going directly Sent , but i didnt investigated
hardly in this, test yourself), so it may not longer needed in the
future, meanwhile it does not hurt somenone, since yet

But i agree feature need more real world examples and explains in some
wiki related to div mail clients in their different versions
guess this is on the road
