That is a setting within the account settings: Defaults -> Folder for
sent mails

You did not say which IMAP server you use. In the Evolution account
settings you can set under receive options to get only subscribed
folders. From the main menu under tools you can then subscribe folders.

The address book is stored in an XML file by Evolution. The SquirrelMail
address book is stored only by SM. I am a Horde/IMP user but think under
SM it is the same and the address book is in a MySQL database.
