There isn't a straightforward way of setting up *arbitrary* aliases,
unfortunately.
There *ARE* a limited number of pre-defined aliases. You're already
using one: = to mean $folder. The character < means $record, which is
usually where people store their sent messages. There are others (see
http://www.mutt.org/doc/devel/manual.html#shortcuts).
The rather *roundabout* way of setting up arbitrary aliases is to use
the @alias notation, and define a few email aliases to get just the
names you want. It's not optimal, obviously, but you should be able to
use that to define "@sent" to be an alias for "=[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
like so:
alias sent 12345678901234567890@localhost
send-hook 12345678901234567890@localhost "=[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
