Well,

I've done some other tests. Sent mail is rather tricky as it's bound  
to identities (that we locked)

First: There is two prefs that I don't understand

One in a value of horde identities and that one is saved as "folder",  
not INBOX/folder which explains why it's not selected after.

I deleted sent_mail_folder, then change in identities and discovered  
that sent_mail_folder gets the previous value of identities

identites:ade
sent_mail_folder: INBOX/Sent

removed sent_mail_folder
changed:
identities:amis
sent_mail_folder: INBOX/ade

Anyway, compose is relying on identities value and it's working. But  
for my point of view, there is a display bug and something that I  
don't understand about that prefs

I wanted to write a perl script to select the right sent mail folder,  
and discovered, that imap clients are awful, and that the prefs is not  
easy to catch (embedded in a php serialize value..)
