Using Thunderbird 102.2.1 (64-bit) OS: Windows 11

Description of problem: When I create an email and then select "File | Send Later" Thunderbird appears to not do anything. The email message doesn't send, save, or do anything.


What I have tried: In the Error Console I get these messages when clicking "Send Later". (screenshot attached) + mailnews.send: startCopyOperation failed with 2153066733 + "MsgComposeCommands.js" -- GenericSendMessage FAILED. nsIMsgFolder.server. resource:///modules/MessageSend.jsm :: notifyListenerOnStopCopy :: line 408 + "MessageSend.jsm" -- Exception - with the same info.

I have also tried disabling all AddOns, but have the same results. I have also tried reinstalling / updating Thunderbird, but that didn't change anything.


What DOES work: Clicking "File | Send Now" does send the email message fine. It's just that copying messages to the Outbox seems to get an error.


Add-ons installed: + *cloud - FileLink for Nextcloud and ownCloud + CardBook + Mail Merge + Provider for Google Calendar + Simple Mail Redirection

How are you copying the messages to the outbox? Generally the process is press Ctrl+enter to send later, or take Thunderbird offline to have a send button change to the send later button.

> How am I copying messages to the outbox?

In the email message I'm composing I click, "File | Send Later". Then a dialogue box flashes for less than a second titled, "Send Message - {subject}". After the dialogue box flashes on the screen the email message I'm composing is still on the screen and has focus. It's like nothing happened. So then I checked the Error Console and see the MsgComposeCommands and MessageSend errors.
