Description Michael Meeks 2011-07-20 13:57:46 UTC 
I upgraded to Evolution 3.0, it migrated everything to maildir; now I try to send a message; and I get this error:

"Your message was sent, but an error occurred during post-processing."
"The reported error was "Failed to append to mbox:///home/michael/.local/share/evolution/mail/local#Sent: Cannot get folder 'Sent': folder does not exist.
Appending to local 'Sent' folder instead."."

Looks like a failure to re-write the 'Sent' folder configuration.

Interestingly; the 'Sent Message Folder' folder on the relevant button on my USE_IMAP=1 groupwise account settings (in the Defaults) tab - is insensitive, and apparently can't be changed.

Workaround:
Fix your Default folders settings in Edit > Preferences > Mail Accounts > Edit
