Found the checkbox to disable IDLE. Let's see how it works.

Then, a copy of the message is actually sent to the sent folder, which is not dependent on the copy action in Thunderbird. I have used this for years and it works flawlessly 2 caveats : - our sendmail rules normalize everything to lower case, so the folder name must be all lower case letters - everything in the "out" folder appears as a unread message. I occasionally select all the messages and mark them as read. Tom, thanks. I'll try Ken's advise first and use your proposal if that won't help.
