Option to disable saving a copy of sent messages
Popular email services like GMail and Outlook automatically save a copy of sent messages when you send them via their SMTP servers. Evolution by default also saves a copy in the folder Sent, and because of this, there are 2 copies of the sent message.
Thunderbird has a feature like this, see this screenshot I found on the web:
A partial solution in Evolution is to disable the folder Sent in Account Editor:
The problem is that once I disable the Sent folder, two things happen:
- In the left pane with folder its icon is lost and it gets generic icon for folders
- When I open the folder, the emails are listed as if they are received mail, i.e. The field From is showed in the email list instead of the field To, so all I see is my email for all messages, and not the recipient emails.
Thus, I'm asking if a new feature can be added that keeps the Sent folder to be treated as such, but it disables saving a copy of sent mail. Maybe the same checkbox that is left of the Sent folder can be reused not to disable the folder completely but only to disable saving a copy.
