I wonder whether the users would accept, if the sent items are located in one specified folder (say "sent-mail"), but the other aliases are "virtual" folders, which are always empty and when a message is placed there, it is placed into the main folder actually. The users (of such badly written IMAP clients, in which you cannot select the actual name of the Sent-Folder) can not use the built-in sent-folder anymore, but need to select one "normal"-looking folder named "sent-mail" explicitly.
Maybe a better way would be to use namespaces? Have an Outlook specific namespace (since it and OE are apparently the buggiest clients in this regard)... then you'd just need to:
Have a way to define which folder to use in the namespace, and
make sure all of your Outlook clients use the proper namespace.
I *certainly* don't want to be forced to use 'sent-mail' in my Tbird...
