I will second his observation... I'm having the same problem. We use Cyrus as the back-end

imap server, and my folders are all under INBOX (e.g. INBOX.foo, INBOX.bar). 

It doesn't matter what I set my Folder preference to (empty, INBOX, INBOX. ) I still get my
sent mail and draft folders created under a new INBOX folder... i.e. if I tell imp to save my 
mail in 'Sent', it will create a INBOX.INBOX.Sent folder. 

My prefs show the same thing as Jeff's... that the sent_mail_folder contains 
"INBOX.Sent" (in my case).

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated, as we are currently using the older version of 
imp and won't roll out 3.0 until we can get all our issues fixed...
