The message send failed - Please verify your account settings are correct.

I got Thunderbird established and working for years with multiple accounts. All of a sudden today, I can't send all messages in ANY of my accounts with several Web hosts. The message I get from all of them is:

The message send failed.
Check that your Mail & Newsgroups account settings are correct and try again.

I checked my settings. The look that is configured in the same way they always do. I can send email with these parameters from my phone (K9 Mail on Android program.)

All my accounts that can receive messages in Thunderbird. I get new messages and I can read them.

If I try to save a message as a project over IMAP, I get the error:

Unable to save your message as a draft.
Check that your Mail & Newsgroups account settings are correct and try again.

What could possibly change to make Thunderbird exhibit this behavior? I tried without thunderbird downgrade to the previous version and it still had the same behavior. I tried to start in safe mode without the extensions, and he had always the same behavior. Here are my troubleshooting information:

The problem was that my directory/tmp was not mounted. I don't know why it has not been mounted, but restarting the Assembly fixed.

Thunderbird was IO error trying to create temporary files. The error messages were misleading, making me think it had to do with e-mail accounts.
