Default Too many sent folders

I am using Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP (with the latest service
updates).

I recently changed my only account in OE from Gmail POP3 to Gmail
IMAP. The account is set up with the outgoing mail going to
smtp.gmail.com.

When I view Gmail on the web, I see "Sent Mail" and a label called
"Sent Items". The 1st one includes all of the mail that I sent via
Gmail (including the mail that was sent via OE). The "Sent Items"
label is empty.

I now have 4 different "Sent" folders in OE:

Local Folders/Sent Items C:\OEMail\Sent Items.dbx
Gmail/Sent Items C:\OEMail\Gmail - Sent Items.dbx
Gmail / [Gmail]/Sent Mail C:\OEMail\imap.gmail.com - Sent Mail.dbx
Gmail/Sent C:\OEMail\Gmail - Sent.dbx

The 2nd folder and 4th folders are empty.

How can I get rid of these empty folders??

Thanks for nothing. I did get a much more helpful response from my
post on the thunderbird forum. As a result, I was able to get rid of
one of the folders (Gmail/Sent Items). I had to do a little
investigating on my own to determine how to get rid of the folder in
Outlook Express. Here's what I did:

1) close Outlook Express
2) delete the appropriate .dbx file
3) delete the label in Gmail (via the web)
4) start Outlook Express

Doing #3 alone would have removed the folder in OE.
