IIRC, KMail/Kolab utilizes special IMAP folder annotations to designate 
the purpose of the special folders, whether it is a sent folder, drafts, 
etc. Sorry, I don't know what the specifics of the annotation is, though 
I'm certain it can be found if you went slogging through the KMail 
developer docs, or something along those lines.
