Apologies for replying to my own post, but there were no other replies and in the meantime I seem to have found a solution. I hope this might help someone else.

My solution was to create a new folder which I called sent-mail, and to add a new filter at the end of the outgoing filters which would always match an outgoing message. The filter action was then to move (not copy - tried that and it didn't work) the message to the sent-mail folder. I did at first try setting the filter to copy the messages into Outbox or Sent, but neither of those options worked. I was only able to make things work with a folder that Evolution didn't seem to regard as in some way special. So I'm now back to being able to retain copies of messages I send. Whew!
