For GroupWise provider of Evolution, you cannot change the Sent-items
folder. However, if you are not so specific about sending via GroupWise
and can use SMTP/Sendmail, you can configure a dummy-account with
Sending protocol alone set. Then you can choose to configure where you
want to move the sent items. Edit->Preferences->Edit account->Defaults
page is where you need too look.
