This is not entirely correct.  You can set "Root Folder Path" to INBOX, and
then use your "Sent Items" folder under INBOX on the IMAP server.  But this
then denies you access to the shared IMAP folders.

The other way is to edit the registry and set "IMAP Sent Items Folder"
(String Value) and "IMAP Drafts Folder" (String Value) to the correct
location (i.e INBOX.Sent).

This can be changed at the following Registry location.

HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account
Manager\Accounts\<account number>

NOTE: You will have to identify your servers account (look in the "0000000?"
keys for your account).
