Charlie,
I hate to ask the obvious - how much disk space is there on the
partitions? You can do a " df -k" command (for disk free with block
size shown). Here's my system:
rich@tux:~$ df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted
on
/dev/sda1 24027628 14400868 8406224 64% /

The home partition needs to have free space. I highlighted the home
partition and root partition. It seems to me that
1. the home (possibly root) filesystem may be full
2. there is a permissions issue somewhere so Thunderbird is not
allowed to write to the Sent folder
Some other questions that may help are
* How did you install Thunderbird? Using a package manager?
* How are you starting it - via command line or GUI?
* Did you test the account configuration when you created it?
