Sent mails not going to sent folder in 3rd IMAP acct - Outlook 200

I have 3 IMAP accounts installed within my Outlook 2003, operating on XP.
The first two work just fine, however, when I set up the 3rd account, it only
contained an inbox and a junkmail folder. Why do I not have a Draft and Sent
folder? My 'sent' emails currently go to my Inbox in that account.
Obviously, I want them to go to the sent folder. Thanks for any input you
may have!

An IMAP set of folders contain only those folders that reside on the server.
If the server doesn't contain it, Outlook won't show it, with the exception
of the two folders you see. Those are always supplied by Outlook regardless
of whether or not they actually exist on th server. You must also have
another set of folders (labeled Outlook Today or Personal Folders, probably)
which are actually your delivery location folders.
My 'sent' emails currently go to my Inbox
in that account. Obviously, I want them to go to the sent folder.

This puzzles me. In the absence of any rules, Sent Items should go to the
Sent Items folder in the delivery location PST (Outlook Today) and not to
the IMAP folder.
 
We think that because the server side set-up of my new email ID was not yet
complete, the sent items for my 3rd email account were going back into it's
own inbox.

Ultimately the emails sent from my third email id was going to the sent
items folder in my PST. We then set-up account rules to automatically
forward the emails from the sent items folder with the From ID of the third
id directly to the 'sent' folder within that account. That also took a bit
to refresh as we set it up on the server side. Now it is working fine.

Thanks for the input.
