Getting "The folder Inbox is full, and can't hold any more messages. To make room for more messages, delete any old or unwanted mail and compact the folder."
I've got a new twist on this problem. I'm getting the "The folder Inbox is full, and can't hold any more messages..." error only when I try to receive email from my business account. I can received emails into the same inbox from my personal email account. I have compacted the inbox, removed all emails from the inbox and then compacted. I have even deleted the inbox and inbox.msf files and let Thunderbird (latest version) regenerate them. So, could I be getting this message because of a problem with the email server for my business account? The business account is with aabaco which is yahoo small business. My personal account is just regular yahoo. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA Jeff

Problem Solved! On the off chance that my question about Thunderbird calculating needed space might be correct, I archived most of my old emails on yahoo. Sure enough, I am now received emails. So, it would be great if Thunderbird could display a message that says "Not enough space in Inbox to retrieve emails on server. Delete some emails on server and try again" as this would have directed me to the actual problem.
Christ1, thank you for all of your time and effort.

I'm still getting the error. I don't think the problem can be due to files on the D drive as my personal yahoo account uses the same inbox and has been processing correctly unless there is some calculation that Thunderbird is doing to figure out how much space is needed to retrieve all of my work emails, and it is determining that there will not be enough space. Is that possible?
