With that change it does find all local folders with these names, even if they 
are somewhere nested and all IMAP folders on all accounts with these names, 
depending if you search for local or for IMAP folders. Well, probably it just 
returns the first one it finds somewhere though.

At least I don't like this kind of automatic, where the user doesn't know 
what's going on and where his sent-mail folder is actually stored.
Also the user has to have the idea on its own, that he has to create a folder 
with the name "sent-mail" on the server to get his sent mails there.

Even then finding the folder is still only a little part of the job. There are 
some special issues, since transfering to and from IMAP folders is 
asyncronously and can eventually fail and in this case no mail should get 
lost.
