That is easy.  Just close down the program completely, open the profile in the
explorer and drill down to the folder where the mail is stored 
(Profile/ImapMail/
servername) and delete the Sent and Sent.msf files.
When you start the program again, it will download the headers of the Sent 
folder
into Sent.msf again and will not create Sent (when you have switched off the
offline copy and there is not some wiseguy programmer who thinks it is a good
idea to save everything for offline just in case).
