Don't know which version of thunderbird/mozilla you are using, but in 
the current one (and in any previous one starting from Netscape 
communicator 4.x) I have a lowercase sent folder and I do have the 
special icon (btw, mozilla shows it with an uppercase name) and 
everything works fine. In fact I use 'sent' for historical reasons: you 
can use *any* name (e.g. I use localized names for templates and drafts).
Only you have to remember to configure mozilla/thunderbird to use your 
folders (with thunderbird: tools->account settings->copies & folders, 
select "other" and select the imap folder you want to use for sent, 
drafts and templates, with mozilla is the same but "account settings" is 
under the "edit" menu)
