When I load email messages from one Thunderbird program to another in the outbox, then I can send them all in one go. I have to re-open each message and send it

I have two computer terminals. One is connected to internet. THen I have another with an internal network set-up, not connected to internet. Thunderbird installed on both. I download emails on the internet computer, export the messages on a USB stick and import them in my Thunderbird in the other computer. Answer the emails, then export from the outbox and them import to the outbox on my internet computer in Thunderbird. This has worked fine up to now, but since some days I can't send the emails after having imported them in my outbox. I have to reopen each email and send it, and then it goes. But I can't just click send and it sends all one after one. what happens is it processes the email for about a minute and then gives an error message. On each email. What to do?

I cannot understand why all the copying. Why not just deal with emails on the computer connected to internet?

You obviously have some reason :)

To send emails from Outbox, you need to right click on 'Outbox' and select 'Send unsent messages'.

re: it processes the email for about a minute and then gives an error message. On each email. What error message - word for word?

The copying is for security reasons, I want to be able to keep email comm on an internal server that can't be accessed through internet. The error message I get is: "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator." It worked some days ago so I don't understand what's different now.
