There appears to be one exception to this rule - I receive the e-mails from the others, but when I am the originator, it just disappears. emaildodo doesn't send it on, it doesn't send it back to me, and it doesn't seem to show up on emaildodo as having been received there.
Nobody in the club is an expert on emaildodo, but between us, we have checked that the e-mails I send have the correct emaildodo address, that my details on emaildodo is set up to expect emails from my e-mail address, and that the e-mails sent do indeed have my e-mail address on them.
My e-mail client is Mozilla Thunderball. I don't want to change my e-mail client because it is capable of sending bigger e-mails than other clients - sometimes I send videos as attachments.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I have this emaildodo problem, please?
My thanks in advance

I don't know emaildodo, but a quick peruse suggests it relays the message to your registered e-mail address. So the mail system will see an inbound email addressed to you from you and with (I suspect) a message identifier that is one you sent.
It's possible that Thunderbird will simply drop such a message on the grounds that you already have a copy - although I can't see anything in the account configuration that would control such behaviour. It's also possible that the mail service does the same thing. The emaildodo FAQ says
"I do not get an eMail-copy when sending an eMail.
Some, eMail systems (like GMail, Google IMAP) do not submit an eMail which you have sent to yourselves to your [Inbox]. You can only see this message in [Sent] box, that's all.
With other programs like Outlook (POP) and Mac Mail (POP, iCloud, IMAP) you do receive a copy of the message."
Which suggest it is a known problem, but the answer is technically illogical as Outlook and MACmail are clients while Gmail and Google IMAP are mail services. I'm not sure what PlusNet's mail system would do with a message that it appears to have sent. It may drop it or pass it on.
As a test could you give yourself two different e-mail addresses on emaildodo, then send from one and see if you receive it at the other.
Another test would be to try a different mail client and see what it does. If it works, but Thunderbird doesn't, then its something to do with Thunderbird. If neither mail client works, then its the mail service or emaildodo. Set up a temporary free e-mail account somewhere ( Microsoft for example) and try via that as a further diagnostic.

The returned copy of the email I sent using webmail.plus.net came back to my Inbox with the From address of the club's emaildodo account, so didn't have my own e-mail address
Normally, I use the PlusNet mail server, and the collection is POP
As I stated in my original post, I don't want to replace Thunderbird, but I would rather not have to use a different e-mail client just for my club e-mails if I can avoid it.
A thought that has just occurred to me is - could there be something in my Thunderbird setup that prevents sending to specific addresses, in which case how do I find it, and how do I change it? This could explain why our emaildodo account administrator doesn't find any sign of my missing e-mails at the emaildodo 'server' (not sure server is the correct description)
Thanks

Bit of a hassle though.
I know some people do this for every email they send (on some email clients).
"So I'll have a record of all emails that I have sent".
I don't understand that attitude though...

I tried sending a test email (with Thunderbird) to gmail with a bcc version to my main thunderbird address.
Both emails were received.

I have looked at the FAQ page. I don't know if the Replys set up is an 'across the board' setup, or whether each member has their own settings for this. I am not our emaildodo administrator so I am unable to look. He hasn't been administrator for long. In fact we have only been using emaildodo for a month or so, so none of us are experts. When I tried using webmail.plus.net instead of Thunderbird, emaildodo worked for me, but then it turns out (1) webmail gave my email a senders address that was different to either of the sender addresses from my two Thunderbird accounts, (2) the administrator had given my emaildodo account all three of these sender addresses, and (3) the administrator now tells me that my webmail sender address seems to have deleted from emaildodo which the administrator accused me of doing - I had done no such thing.

Perhaps that is why the emails from postmaster@ weren't getting through.
Is there a way of changing postmaster@ to Type Mailbox, or does that cause other problems?

You can create mailboxes, aliases (which point to mailboxes) and other things. See the various tabs.
In the attached, you can see parts of email addresses.
For example, abc1@user.plus.com is an alias and its email will end up in the alias@user.plus.com mailbox.
