When I send a message it seems to go OK, but Thunderbird then hangs up trying to copy the message to the sent folder. How do I overcome this?

A pop-up window headed "Sending Message - Re: ..." reports status as "Copying Message to Sent folder..." with a progress bar that is full and green, but it never finishes. If I abort the process and close Thunderbird, when I reopen it the message is not in the Sent folder.
