Even if it is an Exchange on the back end evolution has no idea about it if account is set up as IMAP.

I can see status message "saving to sent folder" flashing. Just don't have time to debug more right now. I 
definitely saw duplicate in gmail but was well more then 5 years ago and I haven't tried gmail with evolution 
since.

Anyway, there are duplicate Sent messages when using evolution with hotmail, live, msn etc .com mail accounts 
if settings are for storing sent mail in sent mailbox on server.
