email download irregularity

For many years I have filtered my email through the Mailwasher app with absolutely no problem. I typically have maybe 15 short emails in the morning. If there are unwanted items, which is rare, I can read and delete them there. When I then “wash” the list, good emails are sent to Thunderbird. I click on “Get Messages” and Thunderbird downloads them - usually nearly instantaneously. This routine occurs even if I am hundreds of miles from home. Lately however, and for the past month+ or so, the first 5 or 6 downloads happen quickly as stated above but then the next email may take minutes. Additional emails may also take a minute or more apiece. Then the remainder may download as super-fast as the first ones. Also, some of the earliest ones will download in triplicate. Sometimes a window will display the message: “Error with account: 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.” (I have plenty of disk space.) What gives?
