I have a new windows 10 machine and have a new install of Thunderbird. Hosting email server has 2966 emails that I would like to recover. Started process of downloading them and got to 1895 when it failed with the error message "Unable to write email to mailbox" Check the settings. Tried removing the account and recreating it. Removed the 1895 emails that I have downloaded and got the same result. It seems to be broken some where between Thunderbird and the hosting mailserver as I can login via webmail and see and read the balance of 1071 emails. Techs at the hosting server company have no idea what could be causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Richard

I cannot remember the result. It may have been the AV which now has been replaced
