I'm currently on an IMAP folder and when I want to save a message (CTRL+S) and I
cancel it after, all options to send to people (recipient) are disabled. BUT I
can click on another row to add a recipient, and it is working (but I can't
enter anything).
I can't send too... I have to close this window

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reply to a message in IMAP folder
2. Do a CTRL+S
3. Cancel immediately
4. BUG There..

Actual Results:  
Can't modify recipient and can't send

How exactly do you cancel?  I'm not presented with an option to cancel, unless I 
haven't yet logged in to the account; in that case, I'm presented with a 
password prompt, and cancelling from there did not result in your symptom.

see bug 229880 -- the symptom is very similar to the one you report.

Oh yes, the bug 229880 is almost the same... I didn't enter any email in the
field (or bad email) and it is doing the same thing...

Now I try again and the window "Copying message to draft folder..." stays there,
and the cancel button is on that window ! I can click on Cancel there and the
fields become gray...

IF I enter a "good" email in the To field, I am able to click on a field below
the "To" one and this add another new line (grayed).

I don't know if it is another bug, but when it says : "There was an error
copying the message in Sent folder. Retry?", if I click Ok, the same window pops
every time... (and the words  "Sent Folder" ? is it the "Draft Folder" ?)

I think I've found a dupe; I'll add a note there that the problem applies to 
cancelling a save, as well as cancelling a send.
