Multiple Gmail accounts on Tbird.
I have had two Gmail accounts on Tbird for about a year with no problems. Now I get unpredictable or no results trying to send or receive messages from the newer account. A message mentioning unsuccessful server authentification is the most common. "we have sent your message but not mentioned it in the "sent" folder due to connectivity problems" also occurs. I have absolutely no problem on iOS mail or Tbird running on MacOS. To the extent that I can decipher the iOS settings, there is no difference.

Do you have the same antivirus on the MAC? You do not want Thunderbird saving send mail if you are using outlook.com or gmail.com as both these providers save a copy of mail as it passes through their outgoing servers. The result if everything works per default settings is you have two copies in the sent folder. Turn off saving sent mail in account settings for those providers.
Hello Matt -
Truth is I haven't checked the antivirus issue, but in my case I don't get an entry in the SENT folder on my PC, while the Mac sits in a closet turned off.
The message reads - "Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (sent Mail) due to network or file access errors." I will put together a 3 way matrix with 2 gmails and my own web site which runs on hostpapa showing what goes where.
Thank you for your valuable input.
