Thunderbird unable to copy successfuly sent emails to Sent folder or save Drafts after upgrade to 7.2.0 #649

Describe the bug
I've made a large upgrade from 5.0.82 to 7.2.0, ironed out all the new read only and uid/gid changes. Sending/receiving and filtering is working as expected.

One issue is still present, Thunderbird is sending emails successfully but can not copy them to the Sent folder. Saving drafts is not working in Thunderbird either.
Roundcube has no issues in copying to Sent or saving to Drafts.

To Reproduce
I have observed this issue with the upgraded volumes as well as with a completely fresh instantiation where no old legacy email or filter files were present.

I have tried all kinds of workarounds, with unsubscribing resubscribing to folders. Removing and re initializing accounts. Thunderbird folder repair... issue is always the same.

Expected behavior
Consistently copy emails to Sent and be able to save to Drafts

docker-compose is pretty much the one cloned from git except added tls and network for redis
