Description
Right now I store sent messages in my inbox so they will appear in message threads.
I noticed that other folders can be added to the Unified Inbox, so I enabled 'Unify' on my Sent folder and began storing sent messages there. The problem was that messages were placed in two threads (sent/received) in my Unified Inbox instead of threading together.
Follow-up: if inter-folder threading can be achieved for the Unified Inbox, can it occur at the account level too?

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the Unified Inbox groups messages from different folders, then check the account-level message and thread handling. Done means sent and received messages from unified folders share one thread, with the requested account-level behavior clarified.
