Can someone help me with how to set "Sent Items" to be the special 
folder where copies of sent mail will be saved?

Looking at the prefs.php it appears that it would be a matter of editing 
the backends.php which I initial did.  This didn't change it.

Edited backends.php:
--------------------------------------------------------
     'special_mboxes' => array(
          IMP_Mailbox::MBOX_DRAFTS => 'Drafts',
          IMP_Mailbox::MBOX_SENT => 'Sent Items',
          IMP_Mailbox::MBOX_SPAM => 'Spam',
          IMP_Mailbox::MBOX_TEMPLATES => 'Templates',
          IMP_Mailbox::MBOX_TRASH => 'Trash',
          IMP_Mailbox::MBOX_USERSPECIAL => array(
              'Example' => _("Example Special Mailbox")
          )
     ),
     'autocreate_special' => true,
--------------------------------------------------------

When that didn't work I modified the pref.php to:
--------------------------------------------------------
// sent mail mailbox
$_prefs['sent_mail_folder'] = array(
     // NOTE: Localization of this name for display purposes is done
     // automatically. To change the default value based on the backend, see
     // the 'special_mboxes' option in config/backends.php.
     'value' => 'Sent Items'
);
--------------------------------------------------------

The sent mail is still saved to "sent" instead of "Sent Items".

Thanks in advance for any input.
