Thunderbird will not allow me to file an email that has the same address as another email, but the problem is these are monthly emails from the same source with the same address.

"There is already a file with this name in the same location" There are additional options like delete and add, or overwrite existing email; however just as I was preparing to send this, I tried again (for the 8th time) and I did not get the same response, in fact Thunderbird DID accept the new email and added it to my file. So, at this point there is nothing to do. Thank you for your response.
