This annoying bug goes for one year now.

Why in 1-2 random times every month, Mozilla Thunderbird has indefinite loading bar, does not load emails up to date and also displays this message when sending emails?

"Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-manos@mydomainhere.gr


So why all that? I even disabed Avast and tr-tried. Still the same.

Did you try any of the workarounds offered here? It may be as simple as repairing the folder or adjusting the TLS version to match the one supported by your mail server.

Hmm. As one user said:

"I had to change from SSL to nothing insecure regarding safety of "exposed" password".

That's weird, anyway, thank you.

You probably don't have to switch to an insecure setting, but maybe lower the version of TLS that's supported if your server is not up to date:
