I'm running Thunderbird 139.0 on Windows 11. I would like it so TB only saves an email to my sent folder when requested. Currently, it always saves every email to the sent folder. I have "Place a copy" disabled in "Copies & Folders" under Account Settings. I had this same problem running TB 141. I had to revert to 139 due to a different problem I was having (discussion for a different post). Any suggestions what else I need to do?
