My Local Sent Mail is no longer saving my Sent messages after a recent re-establishing of my account.
Messages I send are no longer being saved in the Local Sent Mail folder. They appear fine in the Network Sent Mail folder. At the moment, I have to manually copy each one from Network to Local after I send the message. This started happening after I had to re-establish my email account with Gmail because of a parameter change. I now need to use OAuth2 for password handling. (This might not have anything to do with the problem.) I can't see any way to select the location of Local Sent Mail messages; the only choice seems to be the location of Network Sent Mail messages.

Check your TB account settings - there is a section that controls which location is used for drafts, and for sent copies. How exactly this works depends a bit on whether you are using POP or IMAP mail, and what the email service does (Gmail, OWA Exchange, etc)
- Right click on imap mail account and select 'Settings'
- select 'Copies & Folders'
- Select: 'Place a copy in'
- Select 'Other' and choose 'Sent Mail on mail account name'
- click on 'OK'
- Restart Thunderbird.
Please report back with further information about POP/IMAP and your email provider.

This worked after I chose "Sent on Local Folders" in the 'Other' category. As an aside, I am using IMAP with GMail via the University of Minnesota.
