I can tell you why I'd like this feature and it seems pretty logical to me. I have been using personal Gmail since it started in Beta and loved every second of it. BUT, Two days ago, my company started using GMail Apps or Gmail for business. A feature that I've had in both Mac Mail (feature) and Outlook (rule) is to BCC myself on every e-mail I send, is a feature I got used to. HERE'S WHY: I use my Inbox as a way of seeing what I still need to take care of. Meaning: mail that is new coming in from other people as well as a way to see who I need to follow up with, meaning e-mails I've sent out and gotten no response from. I use my Inbox as part of my follow-up method. If the sent mail in in my inbox and I get no response, then I know I need to follow up with them. If they do respond, then I file the tread away. This never bothered me with my personal mail, but this is something I do for business.
And yes, while I understand that all outgoing mail goes into a "sent" folder/label, its unhelpful for my needs. Hope this gets solved!!!
