Solution for Gmail:
Gesendet must the the label of the mailbox that you use for sent mail on the iPhone. (info: gesendet is German for sent)
I believe the default label is named Sent Messages created once you set up Gmail on your iPhone using IMAP.
Have you tried importing those .mbox files?
In the Mail.app menu bar:
File -> Import -> Import Mailboxes...
and point to your .mbox files

Best Answer
The other device that is sending email probably isn't saving them to the Sent folder.
If you're using the Yahoo! website to send mail, you can go to Mail Options > General > Sending Messages to fix this. See the their support article for screenshots and more info: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/smallbusiness/bizmail/options/options-17.html
If the other device is using OS X Mail, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors and make sure "Store Sent messages on server" is checked.
For Mail on iOS, Settings > General > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (your account) > Account > Advanced and make sure your sent mailbox is on the server.
