The sent-mail folder does not have any subfolders. So even if the IMAP
server returns both "sent"
and "sent/" as you claim, It still doesn't make any sense for IMP to
rename the sent-mail
folder twice.

Also, if I rename "a" to "z", it makes no sense for IMP to rename "a/b" to
"z/b" and then
rename "a" to "z". As RFC3501 says:
      If the name has inferior hierarchical names, then the inferior
      hierarchical names MUST also be renamed.  For example, a rename of
      "foo" to "zap" will rename "foo/bar" (assuming "/" is the
      hierarchy delimiter character) to "zap/bar".
