Jred

Hello, I'm using TB on Ubuntu to get my emails from Gmail (French localization) I have very often an error message when sending email , impossible to copy the message into sent folder... because of the "é" in "Message envoyés" It is very annoying and does not occurs (I think) in my windows versions of TB How to fix that? thank you

is your linux version using unicode fonts or is it stuck with ascii and code pages?

I it what you asked? : locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL=

Here is the output of locale command:

locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL=

As I know nothing of French, I asked google translate to do it for me.

The translation I got leaves me to wonder where you got the idea the issue was "I have very often an error message when sending email , impossible to copy the message into sent folder... because of the "é" in Message envoyés

The error saving due to network errors is fairly common and I see nothing here that indicates the é as such. But if my machine translation is leading me up the garden path, please correctly translate the error message.

Generally this error has a number of possible causes, not the least of which having to many IMAP connections to the server open when the save occurs. (note you can limit Thunderbird connections in account settings > advanced)
