I simply want to be able to stuff my outgoing mail in certain folders: the 
same in which I put the "related" incoming mails.

I _do_ usually know where I want to put that mail (so copying has seldom
been necessary before switching toi GW) but IÂm very much in doubt that 
I could _fomalize_ that knowledge in rules because the "relation" is 
anything from "partners belong to certain institution" to "conversation on 
certain topic" or even a mixture of both.

Having both outgoing and incoming mails in the same folder allows 
for nice threaded views of the conversation.
This is possible with SMTP accounts and IMAP accounts but not with
GW unless I copy the mail manually form the Sent Mail folder to where 
it belongs....
vFolders in my opinion are very nice for certain tasks ("show me all mails 
with category xyz from all folders" and the like) but not if the intended 
grouping is rather abstract.
I donÂt think I can describe my intention/whishes better so possibly we should 
just end this discussion here.

Thx for your effort and ideas
