You are referring to this?

    * SMAP allows a single transaction to save a new message in the
      "Sent" folder, and mail it to its designated recipients. IMAP
      clients need to transmit the message a second time, using SMTP,
      requiring twice as much bandwidth and time as SMAP to do the same
      thing.

I'd really like to see something like this happen. Wonder what it would 
take for Dovecot to implement some protocol experimentally to do 
something like this?
