No idea, but you can set up a virtual folder of all unread messages.

That's exactly what it is, in fact in older versions of Evo the term
Virtual Folder (vfolder) was used and some people still call them that.

You can specify for each account where you want all sent messages to go,
but not directly on a case-by-case basis. You might also be able to use
output filters and automatic BCC, depending on your exact needs.

Also, if what you want is to keep all messages to and from a specific
correspondent in the same place, vfolders can be used for this. I wish
the set-up were more automatic (as I've requested more than once) but
it's doable.
