hmm, actually I don't think it's usually an smtp feature but rather an IMAP one?

well, as an MUA I feel it is its task to manage mails, and that certainly
includes accessing my mailbox. Admittedly stressing the comparison, speaking
proper maildir e.g. means moving mails from new/ to cur/, so I feel like copying
sent mails into a destined directory sounds rather appropriate, as does deleting
mails, etc...

Besides, sup /does/ it, so why not do it properly? Making the sent source
account dependent feels natural to me. And I don't see why I would need a more
complex MTA for that (which according to my understanding is responsible for
transferring mails between systems rather than shuffling around mails locally).
