I keep getting the error "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." when I try to get my messages, or delete them.

I have tried: Restarting TB Shutting off my anitvirus and restarting TB Rebooting the computer

This started sometime yesterday (7/6) morning, at a time when I was not doing anything on my computer. Or at least that is the last mail that downloaded successfully I am using release 140esr (64 bit) supposedly released this morning.

I should add, there is plenty of ree space on the disk drive.

I checked that I have write permissions on the files. Interestingly, the file system says both the Inbox data file and the .msf file were modified this evening, when I have been getting this error.

I forgot to add "Repair folder" didn't help either
