I just got the upgrade to 102.2.2 (32 bit) on Windows 10 and now when I try to access any POP server I get "unable to write the email to the mailbox".

To be specific, a popup appears with this message "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." and when dismissed, reappears for the next message in the queue. This is a basically a complete failure of the client.

It was working fine before this, and I have plenty of free space and am able to write files to the volume otherwise. AV is not a factor.

Before I roll back I was wondering if anyone encountered and solved this issue with 102.2.2 on Windows 10.

Thanks!

I have had major problems with Thunderbird after the latest Windows 11 auto update to 2200.978 on Sept. 15 First I got the "already running but not responding error message." I solved that per help instructions by deleting the lock file in profile. Now Thunderbird is giving me the error message "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."

This applies only to the accounts that run off my pair.com servers. My gmail and a Canadian telecom Telus account which uses gmail are fine. Problem is my pair.com accounts are my primary accounts. I tried deleting the msf files as recommended in an earlier help message but this has not help post that this has not worked.

If I were to create new accounts for the two accounts that are giving me this message, 'unable to write the email to the mailbox'. Would I be able to import the messages from the account that doesn't get email, including my folders, etc?
