I am using Thunderbird on 2 computers, both Thunderbird versions using exactly the same setup: occasionally I'm copying the profile directory from my main, standalone PC to the notebook computer (to have the most accurate email reply status information etc. there).
Now I've bought a new notebook computer to replace the old one - and on this new one, I now regularly receive popup messages like
When I click "ok", the message is skipped, otherwise I get:"There was an error downloading the following message:
From: "Joan Brewster" <xxx@domain.com>
Subject: ***SPAM*** Re: C*alis Daily is worthy to try and to love.
This message may contain a virus or there is not enough disk space. Skip this message?"
Note that the problem is actually NOT related to spam / a virus!"Error with account XY
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 get these popups even for normal emails of only a few lines and containing regular text.
And I seem to get them on a 'random' basis, i.o.w., some emails are processed without any problems, while others are not.
I am really curios about why exactly the same files (Thunderbird data directories) give me those errors on my new notebook, but no problems at all on my regular PC. Could it be related to the fact that my notebook only runs with a SSD disk? Also, the Notebook runs Win10, while the desktop PC is running Win 7.
It may be worth to mention that only 1 of my mail accounts (using a POP setup) is affected. It is a catchall account, meaning that sometimes when I didn't run Thunderbird for a few hours, 100-200 emails may have to be processed, many of which are to be moved to the Junk folder. Maybe it's a sync issue that is triggered in combination with fast (my SSD) harddisks?
