Running out of disk or memory?
I doubt it, Bill. There's 40G of hard drive free and the system has 1
G of RAM.
That's not a lot of RAM, but should be enough. After reading my morning
mail this copy is 600MB, so depending on what you read and browse it can
get big. The only times I've seen a problem such as you describe was
when the temp space was low, even when other filesystems had space.
Windows is usually configured to let all disk be used for any reason, so
40GB is plenty.
I used to get this message frequently -- every day at some point, and I
would rebuild the index and compact -- with both 1.1.* and 2.0.*, until
relatively recently when I took a lot of older messages out of my Inbox
(I probably had 10K), compacted, and rebuilt the index. Then the problem
disappeared. It seemed to have something to do with the size of the
Inbox file.

That's something I can try. Currently our Inbox has 163 messages going
back to last June. That doesn't sound like a lot but I'll archive the
ones from June and see if that makes a difference.

I doubt that is your issue; I run mirrored systems w/384, 512, 784, 1G,
and 3G of ram (all mirrored w/the same SeaMonkey's) and all run just
fine with multiple accounts/inboxes. The inbox for my primary account is
271Mb w/2,729 messages (not counting the subfolders etc).
The 1G machine (this one) is the one that is my primary work machine and
used daily. Mind you that the machines with lower memory are indeed
slower, but all work just fine. So, were I you I'd look elsewhere...
perhaps your file system is corrupt - try defragmenting your hard drive,
run memory tests, etc., etc.
Actually, the system has 3G of RAM, forgot about an upgrade a while ago.
Tried to defrag the hard drive and was advised that a CHKDSK was
scheduled. Re-booted to let CHKDSK run and then ran a defrag which said
I didn't need to defrag the volume. The CHKDSK didn't seem to find
anything (I'm not very familiar with what it tells you) but the fact
that it needed to run is probably a clue that not all is well with the
drive. Need to run some hard drive diagnostics, I guess.
