And I use

(setq mew-fcc "+outbox")
(setq mew-dcc "hanche at example.com")

so that I don't depend on the imap service in order to get my copy. 
The copy in +outbox is just in case something goes seriously wrong, 
which hardly ever happens. I regularly delete old messages in this 
box. I like having incoming and outgoing messages in the same place; 
it makes life simpler when I file them away in my numerous archive 
mail boxes.
