When I send an email why do I see two copies in my Sent folder?

Whenever I send an email two copies of that email are stored in my Sent folder. How can I correct that so that only one copy goes to my Sent folder?

Does this mean there won't be any copy of my message in the Reply folder? Or does this prevent duplicate copies only?
