Where are my missing Bccs after I click Send

I created an email that included in the body another email that I had received. My recipient list was all Bccs. I clicked Send. One of the Bccs was rejected because of addressing problems. No messages were received for the remaining Bccs. I looked in the Sent folder. None of the Bccs were there. What happened to my Bccs? Where do I expect to find them?

No. I use Thunderbird.

Subsequent to my post, I discovered that my email had not been sent by Thunderbird. In fact it was still residing in my Drafts folder in my last revised state which was with all of the Bccs cleared of recipients except the one that had failed. I had changed the failed address to one that I hoped would work but had not yet sent. I had deleted all of those that I had thought were already sent - prior to my having looked in the Sent box - my bad.

The piece of knowledge that I was missing was this; Thunderbird does not send any messages to any of the recipients if there is a fault with one of them. Based on that ignorance, I did things that made my position worse (I have to re-introduce a lot of email addresses as Bccs.)
