I edited the CVS version; see if that will work.

I believe it is possible for you to do this currently, although I'm fairly
sure it would require .balsarc editing. Alternatively, you might try 
removing your sentbox (moving to a temporary location, more likely), then
creating a new IMAP mailbox called 'sentbox'.

Balsa does support this part -- try creating a directory under your maildir.
I do not think it supports this with IMAP.
