Or you have an existing account that contains pre-existing "Sent",

mailboxes under the \Sent definition.
Yes, that would be an example - I have at least 6 different names
for "Sent", some accounts use three or even four. I gather support of
these hints is still quite limited, but I'm still struggling with
understanding what good multiple hints of e.g. "Sent" is to a client?
A client has a pre-defined search within all sent-mail messages. This
search should be done in all/any mailbox that the server is reporting
that contains sent messages.
Is the hint also used to identify places to look for sent mail?
Yes. And therein lies the issue: the flag is being used as both a
configuration aid *and* a hint as to the contents of the current
mailbox. These are not mutually inclusive.
