Did I understand you corectly: You say that you would archive everything 
but the sent messages? Only to get all the previous sender?!

That's correct!

Me neither!
But even Mail.app ;-) shows there's a more elegant way to do this by 
keeping an internal, editable list of all the sent emails (= a subset of 
the Contacts ;-)

I try to summarize:

1. Right now the previous sender come only from the sent messages --> no 
sent messages means no previous sender! & there's no way to edit the 
previous sender.

2. A separate list of the previous sender (= sender of the previous sent 
messages, even if they are not in the sent-messages-mailbox anymore) 
would imply a change but will allow both caveats from point 1: the 
previous sender stays even if the sent messages are archive AND one 
could edit this list!

I'm trying to wet you appetite for point 2 obviously ;-)… but I really 
think that is a better idea?
