Description

It would be great if I could uncheck a box while sending a message, resulting in the client not saving the message to the server's sent folder.

Research direction

Start by locating the message-sending flow and the handling of messages saved to the server's sent folder. Determine where a per-message checkbox can control that behavior without changing the default. Done means the option is available while composing or sending, its choice is respected by the client, and the existing default remains unchanged.
