A few months ago I implemented a "Sent PM" system on PrimeGrid's Boinc system. I can look into back-porting that into the BOINC git repository if you'd like. It's not a difficult implementation; one schema change and a few php and inc files.
Feel free to hop on over to PrimeGrid and take a look at how our PM system works and let me know if does what you need. My user ID over there is 53948 if you want someone to exchange PMs with. On our system, you can see your PM inbox, outbox, and a combined view. You can reply to your outgoing PMs (it will send to the original recipient), and both the sender and recipient can 'delete' the message from their in/out box independently. (There's only one copy of the message, with a bitmask to record who has deleted it.)
