Yes, but he wants year-month, or any other format for that matter. 
This always annoyed me too, because the folders are not in 
chronological order. The current format is historically coming from 
one of the console clients like Pine or Elm.
This was intentional (I patterned it after Pine since that was the 
behavior I was trying to duplicate).

Someone will just have to write the algorithms to search for the 
different naming conventions.

... because the folders are not in chronological order.
That is exactly it!

I have also come from 3 years of using IMAP under Squirrelmail and 
ssssh... OutLook so my sent folders are all called "Sent 
Items-2007-09". The month must be 09 and not 9 hence the user defined 
format. I'm sure other people have different naming conventions.

The code already renames sentmail folders to <oldname>-month-year.

The first login of each month runs the maintenance which renames the 
sent folder to send-items. This is for all those people who keep a 
copy of all their correspondances. Every month I must rename that new 
folder to sent-items-<year>-<month>.
Please can have a user defined option which is used to rename it to 
something more useful like "SentItems-%Y-%M" where %Y is the year and 
%M is the month.
The same would be applied to the trash folder (see #5802).
