User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

On a random basis - once every 100 sent messages or so I get the error:

"Error: copying message to sent folder"

The sent folder is LOCAL - not server side.
I am using IMAP.
Server is Washington U IMAP
Happens on multiple computers

Mozilla Suite has the same bug. I think it started around Version 1.3 or so. In
fact I switched to Thunderbird in hopes to get away from this bug.

It's not just me. Doing a Google search on this shows a LOT of people having
this same problem. Search: "copying message to sent folder" thunderbird

Problem appears random. I have to shut down Thunderbird and restart to clear ir.
Once it happens it happens with every message until I shut down Thunderbird.
Restart of Thunderbird always fixes the problem until the next time.

The message does get sent. 

Acts like the sent folder is locked ... ? Guessing here.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. send 100 emails and it will eventually happen
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Triggered the error

Expected Results:  
No errors

you can try a nightly build and see if this is fixed for you...
