I jsut installed Tbirb on new computer; neither the Drafts or Sent folders exist and I cannot seem to create them. The boxes are checked in options. Tbird tries to save a draft, but cannot find the folder.

Sent will be created automatically after you send the first message. Some accounts (Gmail, outlook/hotmail) save sent messages automatically, so you should uncheck 'Place copy in...' under Copies & Folders and then make sure the IMAP Sent folder is subscribed.

If it's an IMAP account, check to see if Drafts is a subscribed folder (File/Subscribe...). If you prefer to store drafts under Local Folders, create a Drafts folder there and set the target for drafts in Account Settings, Copies & Folders.
