Unable to write the email to the mailbox

As of version Thunderbird v102.13.0 (32 bit) and after upgrading to v102.13.1 I get an error after downloading emails from my gmail account:

"Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

I've been using Thunderbird for maybe 20 years now & on this PC since I built it over 3 years ago, this is a new problem that I have not seen before.

Thunderbird is now useless to me. When it connects it starts downloading emails, gets so far & stops with this error. It's now 5:50PM and the most recent email it has is from 07:35 AM this morning. It keeps downloading the same ones over & over again, always stopping at the same one with the same error.

This app is now utterly useless to me.

What is your anti-virus software?

Any more solutions for this issue that MANY people have? It just started for me yesterday (no changes or updates we made, just started out of the blue!) and now I can no longer get emails via Thunderbird. I can get them on my iPhone but that's very inconvenient. No emails are coming into TB since yesterday morning! I can send though, just not receive.

I use AVG Free antivirus and that did not change either.
