the real problem are stupid clients at all

the folders just could called "Sent" on the server
and the client can display whatever it wants, this
even works if you take some minutes to configure all
your clients to use the same folder

and the apple is coming:

eahc different version of their clients is creating
different sent folders - after update MacOSX it
happens sometimes that it creates a new incarnation
on the servr and spit new messages in the new one
instead the over months used existing and if a users
owns different apple-devices he ends up in many
incarnations

* Sent
* Sent Messages
* Sent Messages (acount name)
* Gesendet

and this is only the example of ONE apple-only-user
you can imagine what happens using different other
clients and smartphone-types

this is nothing that can be fixed on the server side
the idiotic client developers should take care of
the different possible existing special folders and
use any of them if existing instead create a new one
