Changing Server Location for the "Sent" Box (Editing the Location)
I have recently installed Thunderbird on a Raspberry-Pi - additional to several Windows PCs
I'm using the same Mail-Adresses via Thunderbird - and on my MobilePhone - on serveral devices.
This all works fine...
But Thunderbird on the Pi has created two "SENT" Folders - one is named "Sent Items" - the other just "sent".
Now - only the one folder named "Sent items" connects with the IMAP - the one named "Sent" only remains local - Mails sent from the PI DO NOT show up in the "Sent" folders on the other devices - all mails sent from other devices show up in the Folder "Sent Items". But the Mails sent from the Pi actually reach recipients and receive answers.
The Location for the folders is listed under properties as:
imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent (on the PI) - folder "Sent" imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent%20Items (on the PI) - folder "Sent Items" and imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent Items (under Windows)
To solve the Problem, I tried to EDIT the line Location under properties, but this can't be edited (doesn't allow entries - or delete with cursor - nor pastes from Copy / Paste.)
So how can I synchronize the SENT folder(s) from the Pi with the Server...?
Thank you for any suggestions

Change the folder to be used for sent mail in account settings. Once you have that right you can delete the sent folder.
Didn't really solve it - in the account settings I can't change to folders that aren't shown... - and it only shows the wrong folder (the one that isn't on the server)
Adding another Mail account worked - used the folders from the server and didn't create folders with 'default' names...
But deleting the entire account from Thunderbird, but only deleting the settings, (not the messages)- didn't really work. When I re-created the account, it looked fine (showing only the folders as on the server) - but under account settings - the "sent" Folder was marked as "sent" - but that's not the folder displayed under Inbox (where the folder is named - as on the server - "sent items". And as soon I sent a test messages, the "sent" Folder was recreated - not linked with the server, but containing the new message - and the old ones sent from this system once again...
So, probably I will have to delete the account once more, but also choose "delete messages". I didn't dare to do this at first, because I'm unsure if it would as well remove messages from the server.. (probably not)...
