Using that logic Sent means sent. If you wanted to keep it why did you
send it ;)
But seriously, in the he-said-she-said business I work in, they say never
delete any email. The emails may have been dealt with which is why they are
not in the current saved folder.
There are a whole set of messages that you accumulate that you don't want
to file but you want to keep, otherwise you would have thousands of
folders.
Often a piece of information is irrelevant at the time and deleted, but is
required a month or two later.
The trash (or whatever folder you designate as keep-trash) folder would
get bigger and bigger to the point of having to rename it to keep-trash-01,
keep-trash-02, etc.
It makes more sense to just include it in the monthly maintenance; I
suppose it is about making the mail more manageable.
