Messages are slow to save, up to a minute. (My email goes via my own website on the usual shared server setup.) When I check my webmail, the sent message is always there and after a long enough wait it appears in my sent folder locally.

Also, and I've no idea if related but it might be, I get constant errors saying I have too many IMAP connections. I've reduced the IMAP connections from 5 to 1 but still get the messages. I realise it's not good to put 2 errors in one post, I'm doing so in case they are related - they do not however appear at the same time.

Someone else posted the "slow to save" problem and the answer was to switch off local saving! That undermines the whole point of using Thunderbird. I need the messages saved locally.

Many thanks

The latter depends on whether the remark was about sent items - they should not be saved locally (by Thunderbird before sending) if the SMTP folder that passes your message does the same, after which they are synchronized back to Thunderbird automatically.

If that happens, you may understand what causes delay - you should see 2 copies of sent emails in that case. If you do, uncheck the Place a copy in option to save sent messages in the Account Settings > Copies & Folders section for the affected account at the top of the page on the right.

Hi @tonnes, something close to this may be the solution. I am trying it out.

I was not getting double saves. In Settings > Copies and folders it was ticked to --- Place A Copy In: Sent Folder on [dropdown with a locked envelope icon and name of Sent folder]

When I unticked this, messages sent from TB did not get saved at all either locally or in webmail, and messages sent from webmail only got saved in webmail.

So I ticked --- Place A Copy In: Other [Dropdown with a blue square icon and name of sent folder.]

This, so far, works. So far, the tests I've done have been saved quickly and messages get saved both locally and on the server both when sent locally and sent by webmail.

Clarification! What I mean by " I was not getting double saves" is that I was getting each message saved in two different places, once on the server, once locally. I was not getting any message saved two times on the server or two times locally.
