since installing Version 138.0 this mornuing (by automatad update) thunderbird doesn't send and receive email. All accounts state (in German) "Nachrichten konnten nicht in die Mailbox-Datei geschrieben werden. Stellen Sie sicher, dass das Dateisystem Ihnen Schreibrechte einräumt und genügend Speicherplatz zur Verfügung steht, um die Mailbox zu kopieren."

So Messages cound't be written to the Mailbox-file.

I tryed to delete an reinstall thunderbird with no effort. There is enough space on the hdd and all 'rights' are O.K. Other e-Mail-programs such as outlook can receive eMail from this accounts.
