Thunderbird won't write messages to hard drive
When I opened Thunderbird to get and read my new email I received this error message after I could see that Thunderbird had found new messages.
"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 checked the hard drive space on all of my hard drives and I have GBytes of space and in PREFERENCES for the hard drive, WRITE is allowed. In fact all items listed in Preferences is set to allow.
I've rebooted the computer and even had Windows check my hard drive for errors and it found no problems. What do I now need to do? Thank you. Fred Berney

Is this an error you have after installing TB or has it suddenly started happening?
Have you compacted the folders? Not sure that that will work but, if you've been running for a long time, compacting is important. Right-click on the root (the name of the account) and select 'compact' to free up space.
This should have been set up automatically but, if the above manual compacting works, you will need to address the settings for future automatic compacting/compaction (not sure of the right word to use here).
Thank you for responding. It is NOT a new install. I've had Thunderbird on this computer for just under a year. The hard drives that on in this computer have a lot of free space I'm talking TBs. So I don't think it is a space issue. I checked my anti-virus program and has Thunderbird set as an exception. And it has been set they way since I installed it. I even turning off ALL scanning for 10 minutes and immediately ran Thunderbird and still got the same message. I've attached that message to this posting.
