Why aren't copies of some messages saved in "sent"?

On more than one occasion I get the following message after sending an email. I'm told that a copy of my outgoing email has not been saved in the sent box:

"access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-aidan@clockwork1.plus.com."

Is there any way that I can overcome this issue and have a copy saved automatically, please?

Well, the internet is not something that Thunderbird can control. Those messages are real, in that sometimes messages do not get through due to internet issues. My suggestion is to change the setting for the sent folder to be on your PC.

Thanks for your reply and suggestion David.

I selected "copies and folders" in the account settings and then ticked "place copy in sent folder" so hopefully this will do the trick.

do let me know if it works.
