So normally something else opens after send? Antidote - is that an add-on? So - try opening Thunderbird in Safe Mode. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird Reply to an email. See if that works. This is a test to exclude any interference from add-ons. If it does work in Safe Mode, Antidote may be causing the problem. Is there an update for Antidote?
