I think that filtering all outgoing mail is bad too, I will try to make it 
configurable when I have time (it may take a while ;) )

About using subfolders of sent-mail I think is a suboptimal solution, since I 
have multiple accounts and keep mail from each account separated into a 
folder. I then end up with (simplified):

account1
  |
  +-- mail in (eventually divided in subfolders to categorize messages)
  |
  +-- mail out

account2
  |
  +-- mail in (eventually divided in subfolders to categorize messages)
  |
  +-- mail out


And i like it better than:

sent-mail
  |
  +-- account1
  |
  +-- account2

account1

account2

that is your proposed solution.

bye,
