Default Re: Thunderbird and Sent Folder

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I use Thunderbird (like right now) every day and haven't seen that. Are
you sure the directory for Thunderbird is in a partition with adequate
space? By default it will be in your home directory (/home/yourUser).

Good luck.
