Sent mail not put in Sent folder
I've received the following message the last few days when I send an email with Thunderbird:
Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. (I am sure neither of those errors apply.)
It then gave me the option to "save" (I didn't get the exact wording before I clicked on "save") and I don't see it anywhere. This was a very important email and I need to find it.

I've resorted to that also, copying before it's lost. If this happens regularly, you may wish to change setting to store sent messages locally.

Unfortunately, that error message is very likely true. I also receive it on occasion when there are network issues. The 'save message' may have been just a retry: the exact wording would be helpful. My experience is that an option isn't offered.
It gets stranger and stranger. The person wrote back to me - but that message only showed up in Spectrum's webmail, not Thunderbird. Since the person quoted me, I do have the entire email I had sent thank goodness. So on the Spectrum webmail site, I moved the message I received today to a different folder and now at least that, too, is in Thunderbird. If that happens again, I will copy and paste the message I'm attempting to send before it asks me about "saving" - in that way I will be able to say exactly what that "saving" message says.
