You will need to create a sent item in the Sent Items folder and set all the relevant properties using MailItem.PropertyAccessor. Note that PropertyAccessor will not let you set some sender related properties. In Outlook 2010 or higher you can set the MAilItem.Sender property.

Also note that the sent flag cannot be changed after the message is saved, so to create a sent item using OOM, you will need to create a post item, then change its MessageClass property to IPM.Note.

Also note that ReceivedTime and SentOn properties are reset by OOM every time the message is saved.

If using Redemption is an option, you can do something like the following (off the top of my head):

Redemption.RDOSession session = new Redemption.RDOSession();
session.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT;
Redemption.RDOMail message = session.GetDefaultFolder(rdoDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail).Items.Add("IPM.Note");
message.Sent = true;
message.Subject = "test";
message.Body = "fake sent message";
message.Recipients.AddEx("The Recipient", "[email protected]", "SMTP", olTo);
string senderEntryID = session.AddressBook.CreateOneOffEntryID("Some Name", "SMTP", "[email protected]", false, true);
addressEntry = session.AddressBook.GetAddressEntryFromID(senderEntryID);
message.Sender = addressEntry;
message.SentOnBehalfOf = addressEntry;
message.Save();
