Title:
  Evolution "helpfully" translates folder names when it shouldn't

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
