On sending e-mail, I get a message that says there is not enough disk space to download new messages, and then there was an error saving the message to "Sent."

On sending e-mail, I get a message that says there is not enough disk space to download new messages, and then there was an error saving the message to "Sent." The message is sent, but is not saved in my sent folder. I have no problem receiving messages and plenty of disk space. I also have another account which has no problem sending or receiving.

I tried restoring a profile that was created before this problem arose, but that didn't help.

Sent.msf is just the index file, not the one containing your sent messages. Close Thunderbird. Delete Sent.msf. It will be recreated upon Thunderbird start. Create an empty file Sent (without a file extension). Start Thunderbird.
