Disregard Problem solved!

Have problem with Thunderbird v. 115.3.1 in Ubuntu v. 20.04. Have POP3 mail account and receive following error message. Have checked file privileges and have access. There are 90 emails in the folder, have sufficient disk space.

"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."

suggestions are appreciated.

This tends to be a message from your mail provider telling you there is not enough space on your mail server.
