Mail.app / Sent Messages stored locally not on server (even when checked to do so)

Hi, I'm using maill app on Lion server with an IMAP account. I have checked to store sent messages on the server. Whenever I sent a message it's stored in the sent folder (the one you can see right from the top). But the messages are not stored in the server's "sent messages" folder. This box can be seen at the bottom of mail.app

I always have to hand-move them to the "sent message" folder.

Has anyone a good tipp for me what to check to avoid local storage of sent messages?

MacPro late 2008 & xserve early 2009, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Log into webmail using that account's credentials, go to the folders tab, special folders, and make sure that the particular "sent" folder you want to use is associated with Sent email.

Resync your account, and hopefully it should work.
