Steps to reproduce:

"Send Later" should have a dedicated "Outbox" in the account from which "Send Later" was executed.

Actual results:

There is only one "Outbox" for all accounts so the "Send Later" mail goes to that folder. Since "Local Folders" is NOT my primary account (not even tied to an account) and is at the bottom of the accounts in the folder pane, its "Outbox" is invisible (scrolled below the bottom of the window) defeating the purpose to make visible mail waiting to be sent.

Expected results:

"Send Later" mail should go into a dedicated "Outbox" folder which should appear below the dedicated "Sent" folder OF EACH INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT. (Caps for emphasis of core issue, not for anger or flaming).

Thomas D.,
Does this mean that in some future release I will see "Outbox" appear in my account?

NOTE: I noticed that the "Outbox" of "Local Folders" points to files in the profile of "Unsent Messages" and "Unsent Messages.msf". I don't know if this complicates the issue or not.
