Unable to write the email to the mailbox
To make things quicker I disabled compacting of folders in Thunderbird - big mistake! After a few days I started to get this error: "Unable to write the email to the mailbox". I could not read my Inbox mail and I could not download anything. The solution for this:

1. Exit Thunderbird. 2. Make a temporary backup copy of your profile folder. 3. In your profile folder, delete the files ending in .msf. Thunderbird recreates them when it starts. (If you"re using Windows and want a quick way to find all msf files in all subfolders too, just enter *.msf in Start->Search. On Windows XP, ensure that "Search hidden files" is chosen under "More advanced options"; on earlier versions of Windows, ensure that hidden files are viewable in Windows Explorer ("Tools -> Folder Options -> "View hidden files and folders").) Make sure that you only delete msf files in Thunderbird folders - other programs may use the same extension! |
