Unable to save Drafts (both IMAP and local folders)

Since I've installed TB I keep getting the error message that it can't save the message as a draft. I configured to use the IMAP "Drafts" folders I have already, but I kept getting the error. When I created a local folder and changed the settings to that one the error didn't go away.

What's wrong?

Hello there Mr Peach. We have read your message . We try to help you.

Your drafts are not working in that folder. Can you still use that folder as a draft folder? Is it possible to use the folder for what it is? Are there still drafts inside the folder?

Send me exact text or picture from the error?

Hello there again.

Cancel all save activities that run or that are in progress. Restart Thunderbird with all add ons disabled. Try to find compact folders in the menu toolbar.


After compacting the folders Restart Thunderbird and try if possible to save a draft.
