What kind of accounts are those? IMAP accounts? Or POP3 accounts?

I bcc all (non-mailinglist) mail to myself. This way I archive the 
entire conversation. (Of course, I could also look into the sent-mail 
folder, but that's way to cumbersome.)  An alternative is to enable the 
setting "Keep replies in this folder" (in the folder settings) but this 
functionality does not work for forwarding.
