If you are new to Mutt, perhaps you would consider reading its manual.
It has a lot of good information about the program.
6.3.156. save_name
Type: boolean
Default: no
This variable controls how copies of outgoing messages are saved.
When set, a check is made to see if a mailbox specified by the
recipient address exists (this is done by searching for a mailbox in
the ``folder'' directory with the username part of the recipient
address). If the mailbox exists, the outgoing message will be saved
to that mailbox, otherwise the message is saved to the ``record''
mailbox.
Also see the ``force_name'' variable.
6.3.43. force_name
Type: boolean
Default: no
This variable is similar to ``save_name'', except that Mutt will store
a copy of your outgoing message by the username of the address you are
sending to even if that mailbox does not exist.
Also see the ``record'' variable.
6.3.146. record
Type: path
Default: ""
This specifies the file into which your outgoing messages should be
appended. (This is meant as the primary method for saving a copy of
your messages, but another way to do this is using the ``my_hdr''
command to create a Bcc: field with your email address in it.)
The value of record is overridden by the ``force_name'' and
``save_name'' variables, and the ``fcc-hook'' command.
