Public bug reported:

When I select the 'Sent' folder in an (IMAP) account as the target for
"sent mail", Evolution "helpfully" translates the 'Sent' to 'Verzonden'
(Dutch for 'Sent') after selecting it, but as there is no 'Verzonden'
folder, of course that subsequently results in Evolution not being able
to store sent files in that non-existent folder...

The same happens with e.g. the 'Drafts' folder.

Although it may be nice to have translated folders configured by
default, I think Evolution should not translate a _selected_ folder.

BTW: the reason I want/have to use the 'Sent' folder and not 'Verzonden'
is that I use those accounts with other mail clients and using software
in different languages.
