With outbound filters, the mails get automatically deposited in the
folders. Very handy.
Can you not set up the filters you want, then invoke them on your "Sent
Items" folder manually (Tools => Run filters on folder)? It's not a
fully automated way of accomplishing what you want, but it's less
tedious than doing individual searches for messages in your Sent Items
and manually moving them to a different folder.
In other words, create a filter called "Email to Mom" that filters on
all messages where the addressee is "Mom" and moves all of these to a
folder called "Mom." Then run the filter on your Sent Items folder, and
all your email to Mom will be moved. If you also have all incoming
email from Mom filtered to the same folder, then your email to and from
Mom should be threaded properly.
Once you get your filters set up, it only takes a few seconds to run
them, which you could do daily or every few days or however often you
want it resorted. Not fully automatic, but not exactly a major
inconvenience if you really find it useful to have your mail sorted that
way.
Or, you know, just use Gmail. :-)
