How do you think Thunderbird & Outlook or Roundcube or any other email 
clients, be they desk or web-based, work?

They don't send a copy to my Inbox? They add a copy of the message to my 
sent box (often with an interim step via the outbox) which is then 
automatically synced with the IMAP server.

Please note that Thunderbird and Outlook can use ONE smtp service, but 
be configured for multiple IMAP accounts and it just works...

I'm pretty sure they use the IMAP APPEND command...
