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)
