That's what your Sent Items folder is for.

You need to keep in mind that by default Postfix won't log the mail transactions
in a way easily identifiable by you, except that you sent a message to
u...@blah.com, the date and time.  The entire messages aren't logged, just the
transaction data, and the only way to correlate with Thunderbird will be via
date/time stamps.

I think you're going to a lot of trouble for zero gain.  Even if you get this
working, the resulting log files won't meet your needs.  Did I mention log
rotation?  That's another wrench in the spokes, though it won't really matter
since you can't discern the log info anyway.

There are very few legitimate cases for running a full blown MTA such as Postfix
on a laptop.  Yours does not appear to be one of them.
