As stated in comment #1, GMail is saving copy of the sent message to Sent Mail
folder on its own, which is not standard approach. You can edit your mail
account and change the Sent folder to some other in the Defaults tab, say to
the default On This Computer/Sent folder to workaround GMail's feature which
makes you feel as bug in Evolution. Evolution doesn't have many workarounds for
GMail and the less it will have the better.

Title:
  Evolution DUPLICATE Gmail IMAP Send messages

Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
  Invalid
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  Ubuntu 9.04/Evolution 2.26.1

  Evolution DUPLICATE Gmail IMAP Send messages.

  Evolution Preferences > Default > Send and Draft Messages:
  Drafts Folder: username/[Gmail]/Drafts
  Send Messages Folder: username/[Gmail]/Send Mail

  Every sent messages are duplicated in the Gmail send folder (2 copies
  of the same message in the folder) - WTF

  Evolution Preferences > Default > Send and Draft Messages:
  Drafts Folder: Drafts (default setting)
  Send Messages Folder: Send (default setting)

  Every sent messages are duplicated, one copy in the LOCAL send folder
  and  one copy in the GMAIL IMAP Sent folder

  I am fairly new to Evolution, I use it since I have moved to Linux
  under Ubuntu a few weeks ago. I used Thunderbird with Gmail IMAP
  accounts before. Nevertheless, if there is a setting "Send and Draft
  Message" and if I can select  Gmail folders for sent and draft
  messages (proper setting) There should be NO duplicate in these
  folders.

  Even more, I don't want to have duplicated sent messages in the Local
  Evolution folder. It defeat the purpose of the IMAP protocol and waste
  disk space.

  EDIT: Drafts correctly redirect save draft messages in the Gmail IMAP
  folder WITHOUT duplicate?!? I am getting lost here. Why doesn't it
  work with the Send messages too???
