If anyone else needs to downgrade Thunderbird to 78 from 91, you'll lose
your calendars & address books (unless you export them ahead of time)
% /Applications/Thunderbird\ 78.app/Contents/MacOS/*thunderbird-bin
--allow-downgrade -P*
This invokes the profile manager and disables the downgrade protection
safe-guard. Apparently this was a bigger issue going back to Thunderbird 68.

In Activity Manager, when saving a Draft or message to Sent folder,
or moving from a local folder to IMAP:
*"The current operation on 'Drafts' did not succeed. The mail server
for account [email protected] responded: Expected literal, but saw UTF8"*
*Reproducible in any build of Thunderbird 91*, including nightlies
from this week, in Troubleshooting Mode, and even with a completely
new profile. Happens on *Windows and MacOS* - across several OS
releases of both.
It is *not a transport (TLS/SSL) problem*, as other IMAP operations
work (moving, marking, flagging, deleting, etc)
It's not a (user) data problem either, as fresh accounts both client
and server-side manifest this issue.
I am running *ArchiveOpteryx as the mailserver*, but nothing
significant/useful is logged there either, as it's an MUA problem.
Been running Tbird/Mozilla/etc for decades - this is a new Tbird
problem.
