Hello, new to the forum. To try to cure a different problem (emails not being accepted by the server) I upgraded Thunderbird to 6.0 I can now send emails and all was fine, but after a week or so amy outgoing emails started to 'hang' whilst Thunderbird tries and fails to save them to the Sent folder. I checked under Copies and Folders that a copy should be placed in the Sent folder on my imap account.

Further investigation reveals that it won't send to the Draft folder either...
