Problems sending emails

Thunderbird Connectivity

Trying to send 3 different emails. Hit send and get: 1) Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. 2) Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. 3) Your draft message was not copied to your drafts folder (Drafts) due to network or file access errors. How can I get these problems fixed?

This seems more a network slowdown. Those usually are temporary.
