Hi all,

Thunderbird is unresponsive after today's Microsoft Windows 7 update to my computer (October 15, 2019). I am receiving the common error message "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure file system allows write privileges, + you have enough disc space to copy the mailbox. I found a great list of options, but unfortunately can't access the steps to follow, because Thunderbird is unresponsive after this update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
