301859 - Can't send messages later

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 40692

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Patrick Mertens]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

This problem has been going on since the day I installed Thunderbird.  Maybe I
didn't have all my other programs closed when I installed it and that did
something to my Sent mail folder. In any event I cannot use the "Send Later"
function in e-mail.  If I try this function the error box displays this message:
"there was an error copying the message to the sent folder. Retry?"  If I select
OK the message appears to have been sent, but in fact it hasn't.  When I select
"cancel" the message displays "Unable to save your message in order to send it
later.  Please verify that your Mail & Newsgroup account settings are correct
and try again."  How unhelpful.   As a result of this problem I have to save
such messages as drafts and retry them later. 

A possible related problem is that ON MY LAPTOP connected via wireless, about
half the time messages cannot be sent at all and I have to save them as drafts,
and try later.  You should know that I have a Norton Anti-Virus installed on my PC.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write an e-mail
2. File - Send Later
3. "Copy failed" plus messages as above

Actual Results:  
I have to save messages in Draft folder for manual sending later

Expected Results:  
Save in Unsent Messages folder

Maybe this isn't a bug but rather something that got mislinked when I installed;
if so, please let me know how to save all my mail, uninstall and reinstall and
recover my data.  Thanks

Patrick, does Bug 40692 fit your situation?  Which are you using, pop or imap?

Comment 2

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

fixed is not the correct resolution - fixed requires that a patch was applied.
marking as dup or WFM or INVALID are the choices.
