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.

Maybe you ran out of space in the inbox? Are you using the inbox to store messages? It was not meant to be used that way. See this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keep_it_working_%28Thunderbird%29

I have this problem too, but my Inbox is empty. There are 125 emails waiting on the server, including one i just sent from another address. The site you recommended is "having difficulties".

May 4 I have now accessed the KB article above. None of the recommended actions made a difference. I deleted about half the 130 emails awaiting download from web-mail, but still got the same error. I can't clean out the inbox because I can't download emails yo it :-( I have 3 other addresses operating under the same server satisfactorily.
