This error (and bug) has been discussed frequently on this list - for
example 

 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2011-June/msg00118.html

This is my last answer to it:

        There's a bug in the Evo upgrade process.  You need to go to Edit ->
        Preferences -> <mail account> -> Edit -> Defaults and reselect the Sent
        and Drafts folders - you need to do it even if they already point to the
        correct place. This will get rid of the message.

The bug has been fixed in 3.0.3
