Why are my outgoing messages not being recorded in the Sent folder?

I have not given up on making SeaMonkey move a copy of an outgoing
message to my Sent folder...and I might have found my answer to my
problem. I took a look at Local Folders to see what clues the Sent
file might reveal, and this is what I found:
Name Date modified Type Size
Sent 6/4/2020 7:23 File 2,605,188 ...
Sent.mst 6/4/2020 7.23 MSF File 2 KB
I decided that the Sent folder was likely full, so I proceeded to
rename the two folders (OLD_Sent and OLD_Sent.msf). I then visited
the the OLD Sent and OLD Sent.msf Properties in order to make a new
Sent and a new Sent.msf folders like the original folders. Next, I
created two new folders in Local Folders (Sent and Sent.mst). Well,
all seemed to be going good at this point; so I sent a test message to
myself to see if a copy was placed in my sent file. I got the
following window when I attempted to send my test message:
Save Message
Your message was sent, but a copy was not placed in your sent folder
(Sent) due to network or file access errors.
You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/sent Local
Folders.
Retry Save Don't Save
My thinking was, the system just needs to find the new Sent - Sent.msf
folders and all would be working normally...thus, I clicked Save in
the above window. My next move was paying a visit to Local Files>Sent
to see my saved message...I could not find my message.
All of the above tells me that something has changed as a result of my
actions. I did not receive any "Save Message" window previously, when
I sent a message. I also learned that the Sent folder was stuffed
(likely to its limits) and could not hold another message. I also am
not able to find a way of opening the stuffed Sent folder to remove
the overload that exists.
I did notice that the original folders simply identified the type of
file as Sent and Sent.msf and the new folder identify is "Sent folder"
and "Sent.msf folder". I cannot figure out how to change the new
folders to look like the old original folders.
Well, there you you have a recap of my actions taken to activate
storage of my sent messages on my system. I can delete the new Sent
and Sent.msf folders and rename the the OLD_Sent and OLD_Sent.msf
folders to Sent and Sent.msf.

P.S. I continue to think about the other suggestions made in this
thread. Be assured that they are all very much appreciated at this
time of trying to make my computer work.
Maybe if you had done things the other way around, it would have worked.
Instead of renaming the Sent folder, create a new folder called
Sent-old and transfer the messages from Sent to that. If you use the
File button, it is very easy to transfer messages from one folder to
another.
Thanks for your response.
I have deleted the new Sent and Sent.msg folders. I then renamed the
OLD_Sent folder to Sent and the OLD_Sent.msg folder to Sent.msg. I am
now back to where I was originally. I still cannot make outgoing
messages flow into the Sent folder.
