I think Apple Mail defaults to using (and creating) "Sent Messages". In Mailmate, as with other mail programmes, you can set the type of a mailbox so that it knows what to do. For example, set the mailbox to be "Sent Messages" and things should be fine. It took me a while, but I realised I could set the "learn spam" folder to "junk" for one of my accounts that has Spambayes on the server.

Note that "Sources" are the e-mail accounts and the top mailboxes special virtual folders that aggregate e-mail across accounts.
