No, not really.

If you want sent mails you've sent with your univerity's address to show
up there in sent-mail or somewhere else, have a look at the `gcc-self'
group parameter. You can set it either to some fixed group (like
nnimap+Uni:sent-mail), but there's more flexibility. For example, all
my sent mails go into the groups where I replied from or started writing
in. So my mail conversations look exactly like newsgroup threads
(except for mailing lists, where the sent mails go into a the
corresponding account's sent-mail folder).

No, that would override the former.
You can do so using some the external MSMTP program
(http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusMSMTP) or directly in Gnus using a
small bit of elisp foo. For example, that's what I've used some nix
before.

I simply switch to *Group* from time to time. :-)
