[Evolution] Gmail + Sent Messages to a local folder

[Tom <tom prost-net de>]

Hi,

I feel sure we've had enough lessons for the use of GPG with Evolution
but as always is, interesting points have come up in such a long
discussion, eg. this following one:
Gmail stores a copy of every message you send in its Sent Mail folder
(this is not configurable), so when using it from Evolution it makes
sense to set Evo's Sent Messages to a local folder.

Could anyone (particularly Patrick who raised it) amplify this idea a
little, notably the advantage over the gmail server's SENT folder (as
I'm using gmail with its server located SENT folder without prejudice so
far) ?

Best,
