Kmail setting where one should have been able to set a custom sent folder

SUMMARY
Kmail store my sent email in a local folder instead of imap

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure imap
2. Sent email

OBSERVED RESULT
Email is unfindable on all your other clients because kmail put it outside your imap system.


EXPECTED RESULT
Email is in imap sent folder

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
MacOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon kmail2 5.9.3
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I found this https://userbase.kde.org/KMail/FAQs_Hints_and_Tips#Store_sent_mails_in_a_special_folder that told me to set the sent folder manually, but I don't have that setting, see attachment. Anyway, who wants their sent folder local???

By the way I can't select 5.9.3 yet from the Version menu on this page :)

I've the same problem...I've see your attachment, but seems it not corresponds to what you said. Instead, I think tath the problem is related to the configuration of identity (where you can store the "sent email destination folder". Is it correct?

I'm using: 

- KDE NEON User edition
- KMail 5.13.3 (19.12.3)

I'm having the same problem. 
and worse, not only are they stored locally, they're even sent to the recipient.

I really try to use kmail but it's impossible.
