Mail.app 2.0.5 IMAP Problem: No Sent Mail

I'm running Mail.app 2.0.5 on a G5 Dual 2GHZ desktop, running OS X 10.4.5. My company just switched mailhosts. Where we were POP before, we're now IMAP.

I'm new to IMAP, but can start to see the benefits of the system. However, I seem to have everything configured correctly... but none of my sent messages ever show up in the sent folder on my mail server.

At least, I think I've got everything set up correctly:

Trashed email shows up in the online trash folder, but no go on the sent mail. Any ideas?
 
Create a new subfolder in your IMAP account called "sent" and select it. Then go under the Mailbox menu and select "Use Mailbox for..." (2nd from the bottom) and choose "Sent" from the list that opens.

Now your IMAP account has a sent mail folder.
It's good to repeat this step for the other options there (drafts, junk, and trash), naming your new subfolders accordingly.
