When an e-mail is deleted, it is moved to a folder named “Trash” and it doesn’t seem possible to change it. It’s certainly true for the “Sent” folder as well but I can’t tell: I haven’t been able to send any e-mail so far.

Edit: it’s also confusing because the app shows localized names for its hardcoded folders, so I see two folders named « Envoyes » (“Sent”): the folder actually named « Envoyés » on the server, and what the application thinks is my folder for sent messages.

There is RFC 6154 for detecting special use mailboxes, but I an unsure whether Jolla's Mail app actually uses this feature. With the help of @A.Maretzek 's link in his comment you could actually verify this and even fix this, albeit in a rather technical manner without UI support.
