How to stop Mail from creating a local sent messages folder AND not store sent messages on the server

I have a big issue with Mail. I want to stop Mail from storing sent messages locally. I know the way to do this is to select my IMAP sent messages folder and press "Use this mailbox as sent mailbox". However, when I do this Mail automatically checks "Store sent messages on the server", which we all know leads to the duplicate sent messages issue. If if uncheck it, Mail reverts to using a local sent messages folder. Is there a way to use the IMAP sent messages folder AND not store sent messages on the server?
