Why is Thunderbird having trouble copying to my "sent" folder?

Recently I have been getting an error message telling me "Thunderbird is having trouble copying to sent folder. Try again?/Cancel". What might be causing this?

IMAP or POP3? Is the sent-folder on server (IMAP) or local? Is your virus-protection scanning to long? Is your firewall slowing down your connection? Do you use any add-on?
