I've been experiencing precisely the same problem. Evolution version 3.10.4 on Gnome 3.10.2 on Fedora 20.

This works fine for the remainder of your session. A grep Folder= ~/.config/evolution/sources/* will confirm the change. Now quit Evolution and restart it - the settings will immediately switch to the Drafts and Sent Items folders on your Exchange server. This can be confirmed by the above grep. I would expect the settings to be unchanged by a restart. 100% repeatable, and annoying if you prefer to keep your mail locally.
