Whenever I send an email ... with any size attachment, but most notably with any attachments larger than 50K or so...which is most all attachments! I get the error box: "unable to save the message to the sent folder..."

I read in an old archived answer that the following info would be needed to see if the imap was communicated properly with Thunderbird to let it save messages in the sent folder. PS: I never had this problem until about a year ago when it started.

Here's that info from my thunderbird program:

With which account or both? If both, what anti virus are you using? It is quite probably the cause (you cropped the troubleshooting information before you got to it.)
