Something is moving my saved mail

My home server, running etch has a mail server that is based around
exim. I have set it up to copy all outgoing mail from local users to
~user/Maildir/.Sent directory.

What is really strange however is that about monthly mail is moved from
this .Sent directory and copied into some maildir formated directories
called .Sent.yyyy.MM-mmm (where yyyy is the four digit year, MM the two
digit month and the mmm is the three letter abbreviation for month).
This makes the sent mail appear in an imap world to sit in yearly
directories and then monthly directories in a tree below Sent mail.

I have searched all the cron scripts I could find to see how this mail
gets moved.

My wife and I both use pop3 access to retrieve our inbox. I use imap to
access the imap account buy my wife doesn't.

I also use sqwebmail a lot, my wife not at all. my children have only
occassionally used e-mail from home - other than some access from
sqwebmail.

But I am the only one with a regular copying of this mail. The rest of
my family have only sporadic mail entries. of archived mail.

It is almost as though using something like sqwebmail causes the e-mail
to get archived, but it might be accessing the mail through my
courierimap server that does it.

Can someone put out my misery and tell me how it is done
