Sequence of too many copies of what I write in the inbox
Dear sirs, I'm Portuguese, I'm in Portugal and the text is a Google Translate translation. I have been using Thunderbird for many years and I am grateful and satisfied with the program but... .... a few months ago I had to reinstall it on my computer and since then an "anomaly" has been happening that I can't solve or find a solution in the help on your website. It's like this.... When I start typing a message, Thundirbird starts a sort of "backup" intermittently presenting a copy of what I'm typing in the inbox at every moment. and on the other hand it doesn't record anything in the drafts folder. Example: If I take, say, 5 minutes to prepare an email, in my inbox I will have ten or more copies of the email I am preparing. I have already reinstalled and searched all your support and I cannot resolve this annoying situation. Can you help? I will be grateful. Rogerio Freire

It's not uncommon for an Inbox to start acting like a Drafts folder. You might be able to fix it with FolderFlags:
Your Inbox not only appears to have been flagged as a Drafts folder, it also seems to be behaving as if you had chosen it as THE folder to be used by Thunderbird for storing drafts for this account… What are your account Copies & Folders settings for Drafts?
