Hi, For about a month I have been having an issue with Thunderbird. When I press send on a message (any message) eventually I get an error message saying "The sending of the message failed. "

If I press ok, and go back to the same message and press send, it goes immediately.

This happens on my account, and my husbands as well (different computers).

I haven't changed any settings at all.

Any ideas?

Do you have an anti virus product scanning outgoing mails that has to "wake up" when you click send.

I use Avast, and when checking through the detailed settings, it does scan outgoing messages. I've turned this off and sending messages works fine first time.
