I then looked around for another free mail reader and found Claws. If I set that up in IMAP mode, it *does* show the sent mail. Further googling showed that Claws was developed from the same code base as Sylpheed so if one program can display the sent mail, why won't the other?
Any help/ideas appreciated.
I've used claws for some time now. It is essentially "sylpheed with plugins". AFAIR sylpheed handled POP3 and IMAP (and wikipedia seems to confim that) so I'm a little surprised you have problems. But I'd recommend you move to claws anyway.

I used both Sylpheed and Claws a while back. Both i found fine although i thought Sylpheed was better. Sylpheed start up was quite smart i seem to recall - but you must have a problem somewhere in the setup. Bot are mature apps or reasonably so. Both certainly faster than Evolution and Thunderbird (they should really drop the 'thunder' now... too slow for imap perhaps a rename is required 'Snailbird' or Blackbird).
I've been using Alpine for a couple of years now and wouldn't change to anything else. I read the server directly and then i have no downloading of headers when i install the latest 6 month linux release. All works rather well.
