Turned on my computer (running Windows 10) and waited for Windows to update. Then I opened Thunderbird to check my email. It told me I had about 35 messages (I forget the exact number). It downloaded about 10 of them and then stopped, displaying this error message:
"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."
Really? But you downloaded several already!
I checked -- I have about 600GB of space available. That shouldn't be a problem.
I checked to make sure I have the latest release of Thunderbird. I do.
I went to the Thunderbird folders and checked for write permissions. Looks good.
Just to be sure I checked to make sure my anti-virus program was on the latest release. It is.
I'm done for the night. My money is on a bad Windows update -- Windows has given me more problems than all my other programs put together. I can still get my email through my browser by going directly to the email service, both on my Windows computer and on my Chromebook, but Thunderbird is more convenient.
Hopefully tomorrow there will be another update that will fix things.
