   Ah, right.  I have my INBOX configured as my ``sent messages''
folder, as this both pushes the messages to the IMAP server and keeps
them together with messages to which they are replying.  I find that the
best way to use Evolution, and it also works nicely with other readers,
e.g. on Android 'phones.  It does mean that I have sent and received
messages in this one place though.

request in due course.
