Mail not saving sent messages to AOL "sent items" folder

Hello.
AOL made some changes recently, so that emails sent with a third-party email client (like Mail, or Thunderbird) are not automatically saved to the AOL's sent folder (which shows up as the "sent items" folder with Mail.)

See more here:

How do you set Mail up with AOL so that sent messages are saved to the "sent items" folder? The setup instructions above do not work. (With Thunderbird you can set it up to save properly by specifically pointing to the "saved items" folder.)

Thanks.
