Because when a new IMAP account is created on my IMAP server, MDaemon

In your case, you don't have to create any folders.

Yes.

I've never used IMAP prior to v2, so I'm not sure how that system would
specifically work. However, it seems to be working reasonably.

Yes, it is. IMAP makes that sort of gymnastics unnecessary. :)

Oh yes, it will be. :)
If on both systems, the Sent folders are configured to be server side,
and you have both systems set to sync the Sent folders automatically,
then what you send on one machine will be seen on the other system.
Right now, when I manage mail at work, I return home to see things just
as I left them at work, Sent folder included. :) It's really great.
