error message
Keep getting this message when I open Thunderbird or click "Get 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.
One message will download, then the error pops up. After clicking "OK" and "get messages" again......the process repeats itself till I get to the last message. It opens without the message.

Just a short point. You should never click get messages when you open Thunderbird. The first thing it dies is "get messages" for all accounts. So your click actually tries to interrupt what is already happening.
Other external issues that can mess things up are antivirus scanning of the profile folder. Hard to write mail to it if the antivirus has decided it wants to scan it. Note these files can be huge and take upwards of 10 minutes to scan. The best approach is just exclude the Thunderbird profile folder from anti virus on access scanning.
