[imp] Strange sent folder behaviour

My account has the following a the end of pref - horde - identities entry
in SQL:

"save_sent_mail";i:1;s:16:"sent_mail_folder";s:10:"Sent Items";}}

In my Imp Personal Information page, "Save Sent mail?" is checked, and
"Sent mail mailbox" is "Sent Items".

When I start a "new message", at the top of the webpage it has "tick / Save
in 'Sent'" (not Sent Items), yet when I select the drop down arrow, the
correct folder Sent Items is selected. Sent mail is being correctly saved
into "Sent Items".

New user has:

"save_sent_mail";i:1;s:16:"sent_mail_folder";s:10:"Sent Items";}}

in her SQL pref. In Imp Personal Information page, "Save Sent mail?" is
checked, and "Sent mail mailbox" is "Sent Items".

Yet when she opens "New Message", she is notified "The mailbox "Sent" was
successfully created". At the top of the new massage page, "tick / Save in
'Sent Items'" is displayed, and when I select the drop down arrow, the
correct folder Sent Items is selected. Sent mail is being correctly saved
into "Sent Items".

I end up though with a "Sent" folder that I cannot ever get rid of...  
not used by anything, but recreated if deleted by the "New Message"  
process.

So I have two questions:

1. Why does my New Message say 'Sent' yet maps to 'Sent Items'?
2. Why does the other user's mail insist on creating a 'Sent' folder  
when it's never used?


$conf[server][fixed_folders]  is set to Drafts, Sent Items, Spam, Deleted
Items

In case I have broken something with prefs:

Imp's prefs.local.php is:

$_prefs['atc_flag']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['compose_html']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['delete_attachments_monthly_keep']['value'] = '0';
$_prefs['delete_spam_after_report']['value'] = '2';
$_prefs['emoticons']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['empty_spam_menu']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['empty_trash_menu']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['filter_menuitem']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['initial_page']['value'] = 'INBOX';
$_prefs['mailbox_return']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['mailbox_start']['value'] = '3';
$_prefs['mail_domain']['value'] = 'simonandkate.net';
$_prefs['move_innocent_after_report']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['nav_expanded']['value'] = '0';
$_prefs['purge_spam_interval']['value'] = '3';
$_prefs['purge_trash_interval']['value'] = '2';
$_prefs['refresh_time']['value'] = '900';
$_prefs['reply_format']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['reply_headers']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['request_mdn']['value'] = 'never';
$_prefs['save_attachments']['value'] = 'always';
$_prefs['send_mdn']['value'] = '0';
$_prefs['sortby']['value'] = '100';
$_prefs['sortdir']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['sortpref']['value'] = 'a:1:{s:5:"INBOX";a:1:{s:1:"d";i:1;}}';
$_prefs['subscribe']['value'] = '0';
$_prefs['trash_folder']['value'] = 'Deleted Items';
$_prefs['tree_view']['value'] = '1';
$_prefs['use_trash']['value'] = '1';

Horde prefs.local.php is:

$_prefs['initial_application']['value'] = 'imp';
$_prefs['location']['value'] = 'Brisbane, Queensland, Australia';
$prefGroups['forgotpass']['suppress'] = true;
$_prefs['timezone']['value'] = 'Australia/Brisbane';
$_prefs['language']['value'] = 'en_GB';
$_prefs['language']['locked'] = true;
$_prefs['date_format']['value'] = '%A, %B %d, %Y';
$_prefs['time_format']['value'] = '%l:%M:%S %p';
