[Bug 798881] [NEW] offline mode doesn't save sent mail in some cases

[Jeff Licquia]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Here's the situation: I go offline in Thunderbird on my laptop, send
some mail, and then go back online.  The mail is sent successfully, but
the email is not saved to the configured Sent folder.  Thunderbird pops
up a warning to that effect, and the mail is then lost and not able to
be recovered (unless you managed to CC yourself or something).

I think this is caused by my particular configuration: no saved password
for the server, and a Sent folder stored on the server.  After going
online and sending pending messages, Thunderbird got a "permission
denied" when connecting to the server to write the message.  For some
reason, instead of asking for the password as it usually would, the
operation just failed.
