The issue that you mentioned in your post may occur for the, DAVMail setting with the Thunderbird is not properly integrated. For this I am providing you the setting for DAVMail, go through this

OWA(Exchange)URL: http://email.mailserver.com
Loal LDAP: 1389
Local SMTP: 1025
Caldav HTTP:1080
IMAP port: 1143

In Thunder bird the SMTP works as a part of it. When you sent an email, and tried to copy the mail into sent item folder, but you fail. I checked that the emails delivers with regard to every detail to the other hand. I have the same issue while my DAVMail is not running. And found that thae DAVMail is not configured with the Thunderbird correctly. The setting for DAVMail you have I am providing you the setting for the Thunderbird

Type of account: IMAP
Port no: 143
Server Name: email.mailserver.com
Use secure connection: None (I found it. Assume None should work)
User Name: email.mailserver.com\loginname (also tried by using just the ‘loginname’)
It will surely help you to overcome….

Using DEVMail for access to exchanges email, calendar, tasks and contacts. For the first few days it works great, but after that it goes slow to retrieve contents. Why it happens? Any tips..
