When you send an email, Lotus Notes allows you to choose if you want to save a copy in a folder. This is configured in File - Preferences - User Preferences, under Mail - General.
You can choose to have messages always saved, never saved, or you can be prompted to choose for each email you send.
To help keep my mail file small, I choose "Never". However, of course there are times when I do want to save an important email. In those cases I simply hit "Send and File..." as opposed to just "Send".
Alternately, when you are done composing an email you can hit the Escape (Esc) key on your keyboard, and then choose to Send Only, Save Only (goes to your Drafts folder), or Send and Save.
I blogged about using "Esc" previously in Closing Documents, if you would like to read about more details on this feature.
