Cyrus is slightly different(more proper) then some other IMAP
servers/configurations.

you need to adjust your mail client to use the "sent" folder that
is a SUB FOLDER of INBOX.  Most clients default to using a toplevel
Sent folder which will not work.

cyrus imap folder structure is like this

toplevel
|
--user1(your account)
|   |
|   --Sent***
|   --Trash
|   -Other folders
|
--user2
|    |
|    --Sent
|    --Trash
|    --Other folders
|
--Other toplevel folders**

you can have more then just user accounts, you can have "generic"
folders and assign multiple people access to them(read the cyrus
docs on managing permissions/etc)

** most clients default to trying to make a "Sent" folder here
*** you should reconfigure it to use it here
