What about it?  I have all of my mail clients/webmail programs set to
use the sent-mail folder on my IMAP server.  All my sent-mail is
accessible from any place where I can read my mail as a result.

IMAP keeps up with the state of the message (Read, Answered, New,
Important, Deleted).  The protocol is designed so that any IMAP client
can get the same information.  It places the responsibility on the
server rather than the client.  Trust me, it's great.  You can read,
reply, and delete mail in Evolution and then hop over to Outlook Express
and it's the exact same mailstore with the exact same modifications.

It's a *lot* easier than what you're proposing (ie porting Evolution to
Windows), I assure you.
