Ding! Ding! Ding!

The Cyrus IMAP server will allow a max of 2 or 4 (I forget which).  You 
need to reduce the number of cached connections in T-bird, or you will 
continue to see the same problem whenever you send a message that should 
also be copied into the Sent folder.

I had the same exact problem when I was using Cyrus.  I finally ended up 
switching to Courier, though for a number of other reasons as well.
