Storing sent messages in the Sent folder is done by the client, in this case SquirrelMail. After created the message we deliver to SMTP or sendmail we create the same message again and append it to the users Sent mailbox (the sent mailbox can be anything. The user can specify a mailbox to be used as Sent mailbox). See the APPEND command in rfc3501 (IMAP rev1 specification) how APPEND works. If you do not specify the special folder to use as Sent folder (see options => folder preferences) then the message is not appended to your sent folder.
