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:

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???
