T'bird 153.5.0 esr on Windows 11 25H2.
Main Inbox folder (using POP3) is about 13 GB
Thunderbird crashes and/or becomes unresponsive on opening. This happens in both normal mode and safe mode.
Typically, there first is this error message: "The account is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages." I click OK on that message, and after a while, Tbird becomes "unresponsive."
I've tried deleting Inbox.msf, but that didn't help.
Sometimes, I get this error: "Unable to write to the mailbox. Please ensure the file system allows you write privileges and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox." There have been no changes in Windows accounts, so it seems highly unlikely that there is a permission issue.
The hard drive on this system has about 233 GB free.
Where do I go from here?
