Do you mean :
- "sent to the server", i.e. the mail system was broken because of
a full /var partition
or
- "sent by metche"
?

I don't understand why this is a bug : the README and metche(8)
manpage clearly state that a number of "system states" are saved to
disk ; this is necessary for metche to be able to provide reports
(diffs), and to be able to rollback to a previous working state when
something gets broken... which is the actual purpose of metche.
Our documentation does not makes clear, though, that these backups are
not done incrementally.
Also, I've just found a few bugs about the way metche is supposed to
remove old unneeded saved states... and actually does not, in
some cases. It would be really useful to send us the output of "metche
list", after letting metche work for a few days, carefully monitoring
it so that it does not break your system... is it possible ?

Might it be possible mutt was missing when you were trying metche ?
