I've been attempting to send Emails using Mozilla Thunderbird and lately get a Thunderbird Error Message: Sending of the Message Failed, Error Writing Temporary File. Any chance this could be my Laptop Disk Space/Storage full or is this a Thunderbird issue? Thunderbird Storage says 83% full, I take it that's in relation to the Protonmail Email Storage I'm allocated on this user.

Graham, Are you sstill seeing this problem when using a newer version?

(Note, this would not be related to proton mail storage.)
