Hi,

 After installing Thunderbird 115, when sending an email, very often I will receive an email alert stating (see image - spanish screenshots):

Delivery failure: An error occurred while sending mail: outgoing server error (SMTP). The server responded xxxxx.domain.net Errro: timeout exceeded.

Hi Wayne.

I have the same problem with last version of Thunderbird (115.1.0 ). 
The question is that the mail is sent. Then after a while it shows the error. Happens to me on multiple  computers. I'm still working with the program even with this problem.
I visit the Thunderbird website every day looking for an update that fixes the problem.

Thanks you.

Good morning:

 Thanks for the info even if it's bad news.

The following information is added in case it may be relevant:

 - Windows 10 is being used with folder redirection on the server where the Thunderbird user profile is stored.
 - On very rare occasions, you get a sent mail storage failure error. In these situations, the mail was stored in the sent folder of the local folders. Now, sent mail is not stored and lost. Indicate that the mail arrives at its destination.(see attached image)
   Spanish: "El mensaje se envió con éxito, pero la copia a la carpeta Enviados falló."
   English: "The message was sent successfully, but the copy to the Sent folder failed."
 - More difficulties when sending large emails, clogging the email output.
