Thunderbird don´t get mail from POP3 any more

Unable to download email to mailbox. Check that the file system has write permissions and that there is enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

SWE (Det gick inte att ladda ner e-post till e-brevlådan. Kontrollera att filsystemet har skrivrättigheter och att det finns tillräckligt med diskutrymme för att kopiera e-brevlådan.)

This error has occured on my POP3account now last months. First it came just sometimes but now it comes all the time and I cant get any mail on this gmail-account anymore. In same Thunderbird v 115.3.2 I have lots of IMAP-accounts and they work fine. I have had Thunderbird since about 2007 and almost all mail is stored in the program so it is a lot of mail.

Tried to delete the POP3-account and reinstall but it just gets same 10 old mails from last month over and over. Don´t know why these mails are coming through again and again and not any newer mail.

I have done the compress, no result. Diskspace free 780GB of 980GB

Image of my Thunderbird Screen and the error that accures after these ten mails are loaded.

Diskspace problem, why?

When I leave my computer on for several hours the mails may come down just as they have to, until a week or month later the same problem occures. I.e. just now it works again.
