I am using Thunderbird 91.2.1 on Mac OS 10.15.7. Currently, when I compose a message and try to save the message to the Drafts folder, the dialog box says that the copy failed (no other information). Here is the dialog box that returns when I try to save a draft.

"Your draft message was not copied to your drafts folder (Drafts) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the draft locally to Local Folders/[email protected]."

Any ideas for debugging or modifying the setup to get my drafts to save to the IMAP drafts folder? Thanks. Steve

Since 23.10.2021 I have the same error. My root problem is, that from that day 18:00 Thunderbird no longer downloads new messages to inbox (IMAP) or updated the status of messages (also in subfolders). Then I tried to send an email and I got the same error, but the sent message was received successfully. I have 3 other PC's with Win10/11 and the same version 91.2.1 and also 78.14.0 - all stopped to get new mails after 23.10.2021 When I use Outlook365 with the same mail account - it works. Any idea? IMAP and SMTP Server re-boot did also not work.

I have this problem with my IMAP accounts as well. The dumb thing is that it is actually saving to them fine, but still throwing this error. Doesn't matter the machine, I have two that do this.
