Writing to folder failed message

My daughter keeps getting this message when trying to move messages from
her inbox to her various folders. It seems to be only certain folders
where it happens. Clicking and dragging the message does nothing so and
when she goes to the drop down menu is when she's getting the message.
She has version 1.5........
My apologies, as I've seen this addressed but can't seem to find where I
saw it or the possible solutions.
Thanks Dad

 

I should have added that I deleted the .msf files and I compacted
folders. Still a couple flakey folders. Renamed one of them and it made
no difference. Can move same messages to other folders with no problems.
There are probably less that 200 total messages, scattered over a dozen
sub folders, in the profile. Hardware is not an issue as we have over
200 MB free space on that drive.

 

You say that your "daughter keeps getting this message". What
message? It does help if you tell us what the message says. Also,
when deleting the msf files, you are doing it with the program closed?
Right?

 

See the subject: "Writing to folder failed."

 

next time, don't put the message within the subject. Lots of people
don't read it.

And you erased my other question, which you didn't answer, so I'll
repeat it again: "Also, when deleting the msf files, you are doing it
with the program closed? Right?"

 

Lighten up! I'm not the author of the original question!

I was just interjecting to answer the question you asked, which I knew.

 

Hey, I see many postings a day. When you remove the author wrote
lines, then it makes it difficult to figure out who said what.

 

OP back here. She gets "message could not be moved or copied to folder
'Name Your Folder' because writing to folder failed. To gain disk space
from the file menu, first choose empty trash and then use compact
folders and then try again". I know it's been discussed before but I
can't find where. It is specific to certain folders versus all folders.
..msf files deleted with TB closed. Checked task manager for sure. I
moved the messages from one of the suspect folders to a temp one,
deleted the suspect folder, and created a new one with the same name,
put the old messages back in, and moved a new one from the inbox into
it. That seemed to fix that one. Haven't gone thru the rest of them yet.
Dumped trash and compacted folders etc. Maybe just a couple of corrupted
folders? Some how? I don't know. She says this been happening for a
while but I have no idea what that really means. Poor girl hasn't had
good Karma on TB yet. This isn't the first issue Dad has had to deal
with. Would really like it to be the last. Thanks
