I starting using one box for received and sent emails 3 years ago and
have never looked back. If threads are enabled, it is easy to follow
conversations. On my setup I've just got two mail directories,
an inbox and an archive. Just set both 'spoolfile' and 'record' to point
to your inbox. Try it out for a while. If you're unhappy change it back.
Like Wim, I have had my Mutt 'record' pointing to my inbox for years --
and really the only disadvantage I have found is that I now get pretty
frustrated when I have to use some other mail system which doesn't let
me do that....
In addition to Wim's point about threading of the full conversation, I
find it very handy to have all the messages I'm currently dealing with
in one mailbox rather than having decide how I want to juggle back and
fourth between two separate ones.

This is interesting. If I have several mailboxes would it be possible
to set the record = current folder on something?
I can see it would be very usable.
