There is no such thing as an Evolution 1.4.5 package by Mandrake.

I just checked your issues on my (current testing) MDK 9.2 installation.
I double-checked every updates provided my Mandrake, and there is no
Evolution update. evolution-1.4.4-8mdk is the one.

Where did you get that package?

Works fine with the Evo 1.4.4 package shipping with Mandrake. Downgrade
to the official Mandrake version, that package seems buggy.

Works for me with other folders, too.

By a quick check it seems, "edit as new" is only available, if that
folder (regardless which folder it is) actually is a Sent folder for an
account. See

 Tools / Settings / Mail Accounts / <account> Edit / Defaults
 Sent messages folder

Works for me (current 1.4.5-snapshot).

I suspect your broken package again. Downgrade and see if it works.
(Sorry, missed to check this with plain vanilla Mandrake 9.2 Evolution
1.4.4 package, but I would be surprised, if this is broken.)

Which bug number is this, please?

Uhm, what's a de-evolution?
