Three possible causes:
1. Have you been upgrading Mozilla recently? Remember that you should
always uninstall Mozilla completely before installing a new version.
2. Do you use an old profile? Try creating a new profile and see if you
can send email with that one.
3. Do you have sufficient space on your C:\ drive?
