Hello! Using Thunderbird for some years now and very happy normally. Although after trying to send 1 email with a special character "å" in the address, that did NOT succeed, now everytime Thunderbid launches, it pops a dialogbox:

Dialogbox [Unsent Messages] [X Close] Do you want to send your unsent messages now? [Checkbox, Checked] Always ask me when I go online [Send Now] [Later]

Everytime I launch Thunderbird, it now welcomes me with the dialog box!

I have ZERO messages in [Outbox] folder and [Queue] folders. (Is the latter an official Thunderbid folder?) Both are empty. I have repaired ALL folders. I'm always online.

The email was never sent away, probably due to impossible character in email address, and I never saw the unsent email so I have not been able to delete it. Clicking the [Later] button dismisses the windows but then brings the problem back in the future.

Where is the list of log or index of unsent and still to be sent emails? Apparently Thunderbird knows something, despite [Outbox] folder being completely empty!?

I've manually gone offline and back online and sayed online like normally.

PS. read this topic which did not solve my problem! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1072963

Any and all help is welcome. Thanks

Appears the message was sitting not in the IMAP > Outbox But in the Local Folders > Outbox which was folded and closed. Removing that 1 message solved the question above!
