Probably a wrong setting. KMail can show a lot of different things in 
the message list. You can see them if you right-click on the headers of 
the message list. One of those things is Sender/Receiver. This column 
shows either the Sender of the message (for normal folders) or the 
receiver of the message (for folders that are configured as sent-mail 
folders).

A folder is configured as sent-mail folder by setting up an identity 
which has this folder as sent-mail folder.

My guess is that, for some reason, your Gmail Inbox is configured as 
sent-mail folder for one of your identities while your Sent folder is 
not configured as a sent-mail folder.

Of course, you could also explicitly enable the Sender column or the 
Receiver column for a folder, but I'm not sure whether the displayed 
columns can be configured per folder.
