Bug Description

When I compose a mail message (using gmail, IMAP4 connection), I consistently get the following error message in the mail evoluation window (in yellow) - I can then dismiss it. The message states

The reported error was "Failed to append to
 mbox:///home/wtz/.local/share/evolution/mail/local#Sent:
 Invalid folder URI
'mbox:///home/wtz/.local/share/evolution/mail/local#Sent
'Appending to local 'Sent' folder instead.".

(Note: a directory named /home/wtz/.local/share/evolution/mail/local exists
with contents cur folders.db new tmp).

(Also, the message is in fact kept in one 'sent' folder, although I imagine not the one intended).
