This works for me at work (Exchange 2003 I think) although I created a 
separate folder for sent-mail that did not clash with the Exchange 
folder:

SentItems "{imap.example.com/NoRsh/user=domain\sean.farley\sfarley/loser}Sent Items"

Note:  the \sfarley is probably not necessary for you, but I just wanted 
to list it in the mail archive.  My account was moved from sfarley to 
sean.farley while the folder (or whatever it is called) stayed at 
sfarley.
