If you want to know for sure which messages you sent, then you have to put them into a mailbox that all your clients recognise as the "sent" mailbox, or define a flag or annotation that all your clients recognise.
Agreed. But for 99.9% of all applications, if the email originated from your email address(es), then it can be assumed that you sent it. mutt works this way and it's fine for picking out sent messages mingled in with others. I basically search for From me.
Mailsmith (POP, I know) set a special internal 'sent' flag on sent messages to distinguish them from other mails. The problem with this is that you couldn't manually add this flag to any messages, so anytime you imported old email, etc, your old sent messages always were treated and appeared differently from emails that Mailsmith actually sent. One of my few issues with the program.
