I'm glad to know I'm not as rare a case as I sometimes assume. The difference is that I don't bcc myself, since it creates a double message (one in the Sent folder and one in the Inbox) that offends my sense of economy. I set things to file themselves in the most logical place when I can, and manually delete or file items in the Sent folder periodically, which sounds like a huge effort only when you're not used to it.
Agreed. In Eudora, I set up filters to move all incoming and outgoing messages on a particular topic (eg, a mailing list) into a folder. No duplicate copies and gives automatic threading.
But if I could design my own email system, there would be no Sent folder at all.
I liked (actually still like) Eudora's idea of an "Out" folder, and drafts are nothing more than unfinished messages to be sent. My Out folder is almost always empty because messages are automatically (usually) or manually moved to a more appropriate place.
