Hello Steve, my old friend! ;-) We still have an outstanding drink
date.

Add a simple outbound mail filter to move sent mail straight to the
Inbox. But here, I have to step into soapbox mode. It's not wise to
use the inbox as a main storage folder - it is high traffic. I keep
mine empty. Once you have a good filtering system in place, inbound
and outbound messages can be routed to specific folders for specific
topics. For now, perhaps messages to/from known contacts should go to
a general "Conversations" folder, just to keep them away from more
general and random Incoming and Sent messages.

Threading is always retained and fully maintained. You just have to
turn it on for the view mode you are using for a particular folder.

For those users coming "up" to TB rather than "sideways" would be more
confused by threading on by default than not. I think it's the right
way to go since turning it on is a simple enough procedure.
