That makes me think you haven't taken a very close look at Mulberry.
How about outgoing mail filters?  The best idea, for me, is to be able
to choose a storage folder for outgoing messages before sending.  The
only other client I have seen this feature in is Pegasus.  Pegasus'
implementation of it is poor though.

And as for addons, they don't count, because they are often broken by
the next TB version.  Addon authors have little incentive to keep
their products current.  Although I'm sure you can tell me about some
that do.
