Unable to write to mailbox
I get the following error when trying to access one of my pop mail 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 am able to receive email from another account on the same server so it should not be a privileges issue. I un-clicked the read only property for the Thunderbird folder and all sub-folders. Disk space is also not an issue. Tried compacting and moving old email to local folder.

I just un-installed Spybot and went back to Windows Defender (Win 10). email is now received.

what exact spy bot product... we try and keep some track on these sorts of issues.
I was asked to describe what Spybot is. The full name is Spybot Search & Destroy. It used to be a program to search for malware. I did nor realize that it had morphed into "Spybot + AV." I guess the AV part of the program is a bit too aggressive with Thunderbird. I don't know why only one account was affected but it ain't broke now.
