Since Apple Mail doesn't provide any visual feedback regarding which mailbox the "Move to x Again" function actually moves the mail to, I'm concerned that I might (for some unusual reason) drop a mail in another folder, then make use of "Move to x Again" and end up unintentionally filing a ton of important messages in some arbitrary folder (which may or may not end up being cached locally and therefore searchable). That just feels too fragile for me. Plus I was just interested in trying to figure out how to do this. :^) Steve Andrew -

Since you only use two destinations, you've got Delete as the shortcut for "Move to Trash", and after moving one message to "Sent" with the "Move To" submenu, Mail will let you use Cmd+Opt+T to move other messages to Sent. It appears to remember this even after you quit and restart. And if you don't like the default shortcut key, you can change it in Keyboard Preferences by adding a shortcut for "Move to “Sent” Again"...
