Most people don't try to use "untranslated" folders, so they probably
never see this error.

I get specific "Verzonden folder doesn't exist" errors when Evolution
tries to store those mails in a non-existent 'Verzonden' folder while I
specifically selected the existing 'Sent' folder.

I also see errors in the logs of my dovecot server that confirm
Evolution tries to use a non-existent "Verzonden" folder.

It's obviously a bug that Evolution takes the name of a folder selected
out of a list of existing folders, translates it, and then stores/uses
that *translated* name as the actual folder name to store sent mails.
There is no way this can ever work right...


Maybe I should compile a bunch of screenshots / log entries / etc. to document this better (and then also report it upstream).

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.
