Hallo everyone,

I have a strange problem with Thunderbird and find that I can send messages but the system has trouble saving to the Sent Folder. Here I get the following message ...

"This message could not be moved or copied to the folder Sent because writing to the folder failed. To gain disc space, from the File menu, first choose Empty Deleted, and the choose Compact Folders, and then try again."

I have tried doing what the message suggests but this doesn't help.

I have also tried deleting all the msf files but that also didn't do it.

I have plenty of disc space and have my local folders set to a directory that I have created in my 'home'.

There doesn't seem to be any problem with writing to other folders but I can't write to the sent folder, even with drag-and-drop.

I thought it might be a permissions issue so I copied the Sent folder file, deleted it and copied it back. But that also didn't work.

This is really weird, so I hope that someone has a little tip for me here?

Regards and thanks,
Alan Searle
