i long ago marked the sent mailbox type in each account.  and all four
have the little paper airplane icon.

i normally use Sources.  but if i unhide Mailboxes, indeed there is a
folder Sent Messages which has four sub-boxes, one for each account.

oddly, one of them has no little icon, just the name.  and that is the
one into which most, though not all, messages seem to go from other
accounts.
