HI, I was trying to send a mail and I got this error. "Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent Mail) due to network or file access errors." You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent Mail-xxxxxxx@gmail.com. it is happening more and more frequently. how can i fix this error?

Gmail automatically copies sent messages to the Sent Mail folder, so 'Place a copy in' in the Copies & Folders section of Tools/Account Settings should be unchecked, and Sent Mail should be subscribed. If you had it checked, does unchecking eliminate the error?
