Error message "The current operation on"Sent messages" did not succeed. The mail server for account ([email protected]) responded: Mailbox does not exist.
I get this error message in the activity manager for all of the mailboxes. ( Deleted, sent, inbox, junk, deleted, drafts). What does this mean and how can I fix it? Thunderbird makes me wait sometimes 2-5 minutes before I can access mail, it just spins and spins.

well it is pretty clear, the mail account does not exist. So perhaps you might provide us a clue as to why you think it exists.
I see it on the server, I see it in the program, I see folders. Where doesn't it exist?? We even have the folders saved and synced to the HD of the computer. Confussed????

Well I am the one confused. "mail server for account ([email protected]) responded: Mailbox does not exist"
So clearly The server is telling Thunderbird it does not exist. Not that it can not connect, that it is connected and that mailbox does not exist.
Perhaps you have one of those awful anti virus programs that pretends it is a server as sends back garbage error when it looses the plot.
Or your server settings for the account are not right so you are not getting access to the folders for the account. But I certainly can not look at that. I am pretty sure [email protected] is you redacting actually what server is causing grief
