The reason is maybe that this place don't often vary much. But there is
a configuration variable for this, notmuch-fcc-dirs, which see. Put
point in the beginning of the variable name here and say C-h v.

I have it set like this:

(setq notmuch-fcc-dirs
      '(("tomasn at kth\\.se" . "kth/Sent")
        ("tom\\(asn\\|nor\\)@posteo\\.\\(net\\|de\\)" . "posteo/Sent")))

A list of (regex . folder), and depending on the address I am sending
from I get a copy in the specified folder. I would probably find it
annoying if I had to write it each time, even with tab completion.
