I emailed Akhil Laddha at Novell about this issue.
"""
Have you changed sent item folder ?
Please have a look at Edit -> Preferences -> Edit account -> Defaults
tab and sent folder location. If you haven't chosen folder, please do.
Hope it will help.

Thanks,
Akhil
"""

I followed these steps and sure enough it worked.

There is a Revert button on the Defaults tab that sets Sent and Drafts to the appropriate folders automatically.

It seems the issue now is related to the default Sent and Drafts folders not being set properly when a new account is created.

The upstream fix (http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=7215cf0) was only applied to the 2.91 branch, not to 2.32. Sebastien, do you have some time to backport it to our package? If not, please bounce back to c-d-t. Thanks!
