But the sent-mail folder is going to be created at some point anyway;  
I don't see the harm in doing it early. If the message is composed but  
not sent and the user hits "save draft", it still goes into the drafts  
folder and the new sent mail folder stays empty -- nothing wrong with  
that; pretty much all e-mail programs (and most forms of webmail) have  
a sent mail folder as a permanent fixture; if you never send anything  
it just stays empty.
