1) it takes thunderbird upto 90 secs to send and email and then it has trouble putting it in my sent box. sometimes not doing it until I cancel putting it in sent mail so I have to retry. Then it sends the msg and gives me a copy back. 2)Frequently I get a msg that the server has disconnected for some bloody reason and then reconnects and sends. 3)the problem with putting it in the sent mail folder gives me a msg "have trouble running it through the msg filters" even after i have disabled all filters including the thunderbird mdn whatever. It happens on all 5 of my email address's (gmail and brighthouse) occasionally but almost everytime on deplorable@brighthouse.com. HELP I'M ABOUT READY TO DUMP THUNDERBIRD. spooks
