You have to know the mailbox name (which you can get by hovering over  
the Sent mail).

Displaying the mailbox name in the special folders would be  
inconsistent UI (your sent-mail mailbox no longer displays as Sent  
simply because you've defined more than 1?  that is not intuitive).

I could see adding a "label" option to the sent-mail setting in an  
identity.  But by default, the mailboxes should be labeled Sent (it  
could be argued that their should be a single virtual Sent mailbox).

This is the way it's always worked for me.  I have 2 different sent  
mailboxes (Sent and sent-mail) - they both have always displayed as  
Sent.
