You can *kinda* get the effect using virtual folders. You set up a 
vfolder with all mail to and from a given person. I do it for a small 
number of frequent correspondents, but it would be nice if it were more 
automatic.

I guess you could also mess around with outgoing filters, but I've no 
experience of them. It would still be fairly cumbersome to set up IMHO.
