Public bug reported:

I use IMAP for email, and when I send email I have it stored in a Sent
folder on my IMAP server. Recent oneiric upgrades broke this and I get
the following error whenever I send an email:

'Message was sent, but an error occurred during post-processing.
...Failed to append to imap:///....Sent: Cannot get folder 'Sent': folder does not exist. Appending to local 'Sent' folder instead.'

This can easily be fixed by going to Edit/Preferences/Mail Accounts then
selecting the account, click Edit, and going to the Defaults tab.
Looking at the entries for Drafts and Sent, I only see 'click here to
select a folder' rather than the folder I used to have prior to
upgrades. I'm assuming this is some sort of migration failure.

** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- evolution forgot location of Sent folder after recent upgrades
+ evolution forgot location of imap Sent folder after recent upgrades
