I think this is not fixed. The checks for free disk space before pop3 download are not sufficient. We may help this in bug 640371 (do not even start pop3 download if disk space is not enough for all the messages to be downloaded) and bug 789679, where we actually check free disk space on some more operations in TB. In all the checks, we only allow the operation if there still remains at least 4MB free disk space after the operation. So 4MB should be enough to rewrite the popstate.dat file.
However we still should check for free space before popstate.dat is rewritten. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261595 Title: Thunderbird corrupts Mailbox when hd is full Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird I fetched the POP3 EMails and the last Message got cut in the middle. Other than in Bug #23302 there was NO warning about little space. Then I got a warning after the error the little space and freed some space up. Now it fetched all allready fetched mails again and added some junk from another email into the unfinished email. In the end this is not so severe, but the check for little space should kick in before and it should not get to corruption of email data. Seen in ubuntu 8.04.1 with thunderbird 2.0.0.16.
