	Hi,
it depends. Maybe the other machine just does not have some data or
what, which triggers the problem. Then the evolution(-data-server) can
be in fault, but harder to reproduce when the conditions to trigger the
problem are related to certain thing.

Try to close evolution on the broken machine and rename the IMAP local
cache:

   mv ~/.cache/evolution/mail ~/.cache/evolution/mail.broken

to check whether a fresh account cache population fixes anything
(beware, it can be slow, depending on your account size). If it does,
then it's possible something in the local cache, broken or such,
causing the problem.

By the way, is there only one sent folder, of the name with any lower-
case/upper-case? Like "Sent" and "seNT" are the same folder names for
some parts of the code. IMAP standard does not dictate case sensitivity
for the folder names, except of the Inbox folder, which is case
insensitive.

	Bye,
