Well it is using the "same system".

When I use Thunderbird, it talks to my MUA server using IMAP (Dovecot) 
and our MTA using SMTP. If I use a different computer (like my netbook 
when I am on the road, over a 3G network) with TB or Evolution for 
example exactly the same thing happens. Sent mails go in my sent folder 
with the correct "to" address.

When I configure the vtiger webmail interface it also uses IMAP to talk 
to the MUA and SMTP for the MTA.

All folders on my IMAP MUA are stored on the server so each and any 
client I use remain synchronised.

Unless I'm missing something here, I can't see any difference between a 
desktop application using IMAP/SMTP and a web client using IMAP/SMTP. In 
fact I have set up a webmail system using the Horde before, and that 
wrote sent emails to the right place.
