Select the “Sent” mailbox within the IMAP account (under SOURCES) 
and give it the “Sent Messages” mailbox type. Then move all emails 
from the old mailbox used for sent messages in MailMate to Sent instead. 
Finally, delete the now empty and unused mailbox for sent messages in 
the account.

I'll try to re-iterate: MailMate does not require any particular mailbox 
to be used for sent messages (or any of the other standard mailboxes). 
**If** the server or some other email client enforces the use of some 
specific mailbox then MailMate can be told to use the same one.

It's naturally a problem if the server and some email client enforces 
two different choices and neither is configurable, but there's nothing 
MailMate can do about that.

I hope that makes it a bit clearer :)
