[gentoo-user] OT - Sent messages not being saved in Sent Items folder

[Michael Sullivan]

For some time now (Since April 26) evolution hasn't
been saving the mail I send in the Sent Items folder. 
I don't know if this is a problem with my evolution
installation, with dovecot, or with exim, but it's
really annoying.  My wife's evolution still saves her
sent mail in Sent Items, so it's probably evolution. 
I checked the account preferences, and it says it's
set to save them in Sent Items.  Here is my info:

I had exactly the same problem for a while - messages were definitely
sending, but not appearing in my sent items folder.

I ignored it for a while, but to fix it I had to go to settings, edit
mail account, defaults, and change the "sent message folder" to
something different.  (I then sent an email to test it, but this may not
be necessary).  Then I went back to the same setting, and changed it
back to my original folder.
