OK, I admit there are cases, where filtering may not work.

However, as you wanna filter *outgoing* mail, *you* are writing the
mail. What I had in mind is one of the following methods and should not
do any harm on closed projects:

1) Set a special [project-x] to any subject (at the end for more
convenient subject reading) and filter on them. This very likely will
survive replies.

2) You even could do something similar in the body, first line for
example.

Using flags like this are a lot faster, than struggling with the mouse
at all and selecting a folder.

Honestly, I don't get the point, where this should be faster, than using
the currently supported style:

Have you considered placing the default sent messages folder (and maybe
the project folders) on the shortcut bar[1]? You can move the mail by
drag-n-drop to the folder tree or the shortcut bar, to sort them easily.

Maybe this is a practicable way for you right now?

[1]  The shortcut bar can have small icons to hold more of them. And you
can create new shortcut groups.
