5. Make “Sent Messages” configurable such that users can choose to
configure it as a smart mailbox instead of a universal mailbox (or
maybe allow it to behave like both). This doesn't work
'out-of-the-box' and for a user with many email addresses it could be
tedious to setup conditions (most often it would work using names
only).
I think 3 and 5 are the most interesting. I like 3 because it would
work out-of-the-box and I like 5 because it's highly configurable. It
could be both, but I guess I'm still undecided (leaning towards 5).

I've taken some time to think about this, and I'm still not sure of
what the best solution could be (for my use case, at least), but I
like the configurability of 5 too.
I’m inclined to agree, even though I’ve had *dozens* of e-mail
addresses since the 1980s.
It seems to me that even people with very common names probably don’t
communicate with more than a vanishingly small number of other people
with the same name — and that it would be trivial to create a smart
mailbox that first included a name and then excluded particular
addresses representing the “false positives” of those who shared
your name. And that’s probably the worst-case scenario.
