name-of-your-server-here should correspond to the name you defined for
the imap server in the server buffer

yes. My group buffer lists them like so:

nnimap+thuis:INBOX.sent.2015-01
nnimap+thuis:INBOX.sent.2015-02
nnimap+thuis:INBOX.sent.2015-03
nnimap+thuis:INBOX.sent.2015-04
nnimap+thuis:INBOX.sent.2015-05

every now and then I unsubscribe a bunch of these so that the list
becomes not too unwieldy

Yep, that is there too. And other imap clients will add Sent, instead of
sent, so you have quite a few sent folders to manage.
