In times of slow Internet, Thunderbird repeatedly says sending timed out, but it actually sends, resulting in multiple emails.
That about sums it up. I feel very unprofessional when it happens. Can I determine from within Thunderbird when it sends or doesn't send? How can I fix it? Is there a way to tell Thunderbird to prevent multiple identical emails?
When it times out, it won't appear in the Sent folder. Right now, to see if these timed-out emails actually sent, I have to open my web interface to gmail, which is the only place it'll show a complete roster of sent email. (I don't like the web interface, which is why I have Thunderbird in the first place.)

Check your SMTP in Thunderbird
Thank you. After referring to these articles and checking the gmail settings, the SMTP appears to be correct. Also, this only happens when I have very slow speeds, and at all other times, Thunderbird does exactly what I expect it to do with outgoing email.
If your using Thunderbird in Windows, Disable your Antivirus and Firewall, Give a try. Sometimes Firewall/Antivirus block
