if you are adventurous, you can try what i did a few years back with ev.

with a file browser, locate your 'sent' folder, open with a text editor.
then manually save to a new file, 'sent00'.

open 'sent00', page down about half way into it, back up to start of a
message. then delete messages to end, save as a new file name, 'sent01'.

reopen 'sent00', page down to message you started of message you started
you delete from, delete back to start of file, save as 'sent02'.

rename original 'sent' file to 'sent.org', open a terminal, or command shell,
touch 'sent' to create a new 'sent'.

look at associated files of 'sent', create them for 'sent01' and 'sent02'.

reopen ev and you should now have an empty 'sent' plus a new 'sent01' and
'sent02'.

there may be an easier way, but this did work for me.

hth.
