Hello, 

I can't receive any of my e-mails. I can send e-mails out now. Plus I can put in my password to log into my e-mail.  This has been a headache for me, I have been with Thunder Bird for years.

I also get a boxes that says : Unable to write the email to the mailbox. It says to make sure the file system allows me to write privileges, and I have enough disk space to copy the mailbox. I have enough space on my computer system and all. Another box that says my e-mail is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages. I did e-mail you yesterday on these issues. As I said I can e-mail messages out now also log into my e-mail with my password. Thanks, Chris

What is your operating system?

What version of Thunderbird?

Who is your email provider?

Is this an IMAP account or POP3?

How long has this been going on?

What is your anti-virus, if any?

Error messages like this can have a few potential causes. The most common one is the anti-virus, which can take hold of your folder file and not let go. This can be tested by temporarily disabling the AV, by creating an exception for your Thunderbird Profile, or (assuming Windows) restarting the computer in Safe Mode with Networking, which temporarily disables the AV.

It could also be caused by a server problem, which could also account for you being repeatedly asked for your password. This is usually temporary and will go away when the server admins fix it.

There are also reports of similar errors caused by a corrupt message on the server. If you can narrow down the time frame when this started, you might use the provider's web mail interface to identify the bad message and delete it from there, which could allow downloads to happen again.

Hi My operating system is window 10 It is 151.0.1 (32-bits) released May26,2026 Spectrum I believe it is POP3 It just started yesterday afternoon. Norton I did call Spectrum today, they had me change a few things in setting. I can now send e-mails not receiving e-mails yet. Also now the box comes up for me to put my password in which it wasn’t doing this yesterday. Spectrum said to reach out for help getting the e-mail to receive, they done everything to get it to work. Thanks again, Chris

Stajće prašenje

Dyrbiće so pola swojeho konta přizjewić, zo byšće na přinoški wotmołwił. Prošu stajće nowe prašenje, jeli hišće wužiwarske konto nimaće.
