Whilst I am composing a message a copy is sent every 5 minutes to Drafts. Then when I send the message each and every copy is also sent from Drafts. Why?
As stated in the question, when composing a message a copy appears in Drafts every 5 minutes. Then when I send the message from the wirte screen the draft copies are also sent. This results in multiple messages being sent. One being the proper complete message and the others in varying stages of completion. Is there any solution to this or should I abandon Thunderbird and move to another provider?
Please help. victorjohn

After restarting Tbird with Add-ons disabled the problem appears to be solved. I will now re-enable each add-on at a time to see what happens. Thanks for your help. victorjohn
I have now added the English dictionary so that there is an automatic check before releasing to send. It works fine and there is no duplication in Drafts. Thus it is SOLVED. As the dictionary was the only add-on which I had selected previously this must have been causing the problem. However it is ok now so I will carry-on.
Thanks again for your help. victorjohn

a new draft should see old drafts deleted, so we quite probably have an issue. But what sort or what is the cause.
- Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
- Restart the operating system in safe mode with Networking. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, OSX
- If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.
