This message may contain a virus or there is not enough disk space. Skip this message?

I have been randomly getting the following message for example for the past couple of weeks and it seems to be getting worse:
There was an error downloading the following message:
From: Popular Science <[email protected]>
Subject: The Coolest Cars We Saw At The Detroit Auto Show
This message may contain a virus or there is not enough disk space. Skip this message?
I have also noticed that that there is an issue when I select the option to skip the message by selecting '''Yes'''. The body of a one message is replacing the body of one of the other messages that is downloaded (i.e. body of facebook message replacing body of message from amazon). This has been seen multiple times.
I am using Thunderbird ver. 31.4.0 on Windows 8.1 and the latest Norton Security with Backup software for my antivirus and all software has the latest updates.

Hi. Thanks for your prompt reply. The error message is generated in Thunderbird and not by my anti-virus software. It is also specific to one email account and does not affect the others.
I have around 40Gb unused space on my hard drive.
The From and Subject fields in the error message contain the sender's email address and subject header respectively (these didn't show in my original email)
I have also moved a lot of messages from mu inbox.
I have not changed my anti-virus software (and have been using the same package for years

  • There is not enough disk space to download new messages. How can I backup my old emails onto my hard drive to create room for new message?

    When trying to download new email messages I receive an error "There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again." I have emptied my trash, removed all the junk, deleted about 1gig worth of email and im still having problems.
    I have a ton of folders that I store all of my emails in, so that I can easily find older emails. This email has been working fine for me for about the pass 5-6 years and now I have problems. I would like to be able to back up my emails onto my hard drive so that I have them on hand. What is the best way to go about this? Because of my file structure I am not able to see all of my messages on one screen. Is there a way to select emails from a certain year?
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    ''Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and'' '''compacting your mail folders'''
    If you did not compact the folders after marking the messages for deletion, you have not deleted anything.

    don
    thanks for your suggestion.  that is the same advice that i got from the geek squad at the local apple store.
    i did what he instructed but it did not work.  i have since called apple support twice regarding the problem.  they had me start the computer in safe mode, going into the library and deleting a phlist file (i think) do a repair disk permissions, do a repair disk, empty the cache, and finally the last guy told me to unplug the computer from the wall socket and restart.
    when i mentioned the advice you and the apple store guy gave me they sort of poo pooed it saying that was done when they did all this other stuff.
    i am now waiting for the download to be completed to see if unplugging the computer had any effect.
    thanks again for your kindness in answering my concern.

  • There is not enough disk space to download new messages

    I'm running 24.3.0 - this morning I was able to receive messages until a couple of hours ago and started receiving error message 'There is not enough disk space to download new messages'. I deleted over half my messages but still got error message. I rebooted - no better so I checked Help site and followed:
    "Quit Thunderbird.
    Locate the global-messages-db.sqlite file in your Thunderbird Profile .
    Delete the global-messages-db.sqlite file. "
    and the Global Database rebuilt bit I still can't receive more messages. I'm running Windows 7 and have 200GB free on my C drive. What else can I do? My email is [email protected] but since I can't receive messages, send to my gmail account, [email protected]
    Thanks,
    Phil Bowling

    First of all, make sure you do have a backup of your profile.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Backing_Up_and_Restoring
    After deleting messages you should also compact folders.
    Assuming you deleted messages from Inbox, right-click Inbox - Compact.
    You should set-up Thunderbird to automatically compact folders.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders
    Also accumulating messages in Inbox isn't a good idea, keep your Inbox as tidy as possible.

  • There is not enough disk space left to import

    I am in the middle of editing a movie. I have imported two clips and am trying to import a third.
    I have precisely 62.42Gigabytes of hard disk space (I have a 120 Gig HD). The clip I want to import is 1.69 Gigabytes.
    I get the following message:
    Error during Import
    The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import...
    I tried moving the project to another account on the same computer but that did not work either.
    I have searched through these forums and many others seem to have the same problem but I have yet to find ANY workable solution!
    HELP please!

    The clip I want to import is 1.69 Gigabytes.
    By any chance, is the "clip" a compressed QuickTime movie? If so, when iMovie converts it to DV a 1.69GB movie may expand quite a lot. Please describe the clip.
    And describe the disk the project resides on. Is it an internal disk or external disk?
    Here's some things to check out...

  • The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left

    The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import
    why? I have 53.1 Gb left and I can import the whole movie but when I broke it up into chapters to edit it will only import 2 edited chapters I don't like imovie
    anyone ??

    I just had the same problem this morning. I tried to import a 500MB mp4 into iMovie HD, and I have 9.5GB on my hard drive, but the same error message came up.
    If the 500MB mp4 file was highly compressed and iMovie converted it to DV, it's quite possible iMovie would run out of disk space.
    Although 9.5GB sounds like a lot, it's tiny when editing video. (Each hour of video is ~13GB.) When iMovie complains that it can't find the disk space it needs, it's not a good thing. Everything is put in jeopardy. Don't forget that thee Mac OS X itself needs a certain amount of elbow room. When it can't get it, big problems can occur.
    The main drive of your Mac should have at least 10-15% free disk space at all times, even AFTER iMovie/iDVD is done handling the video.

    Has anyone received an error message of "there is not enough disk space to complete this operation" when trying to export a photo from iphoto?  If so, how did you resolve it?

    How much free disk do you have? How many and what size of photos do yu have that you are trying to export?

  • Problem: There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again.

    Hi there.
    I am running the newest FCPX 10.0.9 and Mavericks, and I am editing a large multicam project. I have approx. 190 GB left on my external event/project disk via USB3 (it has 2TB in total), and I get the error message:
    "There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again."
    when I am trying to add clips to an angle in one of my multicam clips. I have made more than 8 multicam clips in the same event, without that problem, but now it won't let me add more.
    What's the problem?

    This was driving me nuts as well until I found the sneaky checkbox. In the editing tab in Preferences there is a checkbox for "Optimize media for multicam." If that's checked, Final Cut is rendering ProRes files for every clip you bring into multicam, so it just eats memory. Unchecking that solved my issues; hope it helps you or anyone who comes across this!

  • I bought a game that has 16.66 GB and my computer has 30 GB free, however when I try to install it it says there is not enough disk space available.

    Whenever I try to install the game it says there is not enough disk space available. I have tried to delete things that take up space but it did not help.
    Game:Napoleon Total War

    30GB's free disk space is not enough. If you don't free up storage space soon, your Mac may not boot which is why you see the, "not enough disk space available" dialog.
    Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

    Restart your Mac after deleting data to see a difference in storage space.

  • Problem "There is not enough disk space ..." when transferring tracks back to compu

    Hi All,?I am recovering from a massi've hard dri've failure so no lectures about backups for my library please. I am trying to transfer all of my mp3's back from my Zen Xtra 30GB to my computer. I am using Creative MediaSource and it worked for about 800 of them but now has stopped. Now any track will report an error "There is not enough disk space at the destination for this transfer". Checking my disk, I have 6GB of space left, so I am left in the dark as to how to fix this. I can't even get an individual track. Trying to troubleshoot this on my own, I've deleted my temp files but still no luck. Has anyone here has this problem? Better yet, does anyone have a solution?Thanks all!

    and now it doesn't. 8GB free and a few more tracks to go.

  • Receiving a "There is not enough disk space available to install the product" error in App store while I clearly have enough space?

    I am attempting to purchase Dues Ex: Human Revolution which requires 17GB to run, I currently have 27.34GB free.
    Even though I have 10GB more than the required space I still get the "There is not enough disk space available to install the product"
    Any ideas?

    HI...
    You need at the very least 15% free disk space. More if possible. Definitely not enough free space to install a 17GB app.

  • Max payne 3 "Could not complete purchase, there is not enough disk space available to install the product."

    As most people should know, max payne 3 is a pretty big game, in fact, the second biggest game I know. However, when I try to purchase it, It says that it could not complete the purchase, there is  not enough disk space. Even though, the game requires 40 GB, I have well over 60 GB. Can anyone help me?

    You're downloading a large installer package that unpacks to an even larger set of installed files. There has to be enough space for both at the same time, plus a margin of safety to avoid the risk of a boot failure. You would probably need at least 80 GB of free space, maybe a little more.

  • "Not enough disk space" when there seems to be (+ rapid memory consumption)

    [Note: I originally posted this in the iDVD section, but due to an answer I got there to another question and further conversations with my daughter, figured out this is probably an iMovie question?]
    I'm a newbie to iDVD and iMovie and Forums (my last Mac was a Performa 6360--still using it for the family budget). I got my daughter a MacBook as a graduation gift. She is using it to combine movie inputs from a wedding/reception that come from digital camreas and a couple of video cameras. We went to Flip4Mac to get the necessary software/features to import .wmv files (only way we could download one of the video cameras was by going from PC to Mac--can't remember if it was a Sony or Canon).
    Issue: When she tries to import vidoes into iMovie HD 6.0.3 which have already been transferred to her computer, she gets: "The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space to import Macintosh HD/Users/julie/pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/2007/Roll8/CIMG1442.AVI" [She says this is about a 4 min. clip.]
    Basically the question is how to get more room on her disk to import and to save? She seems to only be able to Save--she can't Save Project as an option because it says she doesn't have enough disk space (she's already deleted the Trash). Help says you need to have more than 400mb of free space or it gets difficult but the indicator shows 28.8GB free space left...so there seems to be some kind of disconnect?? (Or maybe we're talking apples and oranges?)
    [Even more disturbing, just in the last couple of days with only a little time spent on the computer, the 28.8 GB has dropped to 2.3GB--obviously there is something she is doing that she is not aware of or shouldn't be doing that is consuming memory at a rapid pace.] On top of that, she also gets the same error message when she tries to burn the project onto a disk using iDVD???
    I went through the first 5 pages of the forum and couldn't see a similar problem, but then I may have not known what to look for?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...she's trying to give the DVD as a Wedding gift--somewhat belated.

    Hello Karstn Schluter,
    This is fm's daughter who is havin ghte difficulites. at the end you tell me to try to answer 1-8 so i will try.
    1- how can you tell if the avi is containing divx? or not?? do I need to just keep this in mind when importing these files
    2- I have not brought in an external drive. I did try making my laptop computer a harddrive so I could import my imovie poject to my eMAC at one point, but it was not allowing me to do that either. Because I had to have it in DVD form or something
    3- No I did not segment the internal drive....sorry How do you do that??? Right now I am trying to find out what is taking up all the memory and Hard Disk Drive space....i do not know how to do that either....Do you know how???
    4-Yes I know flip4mac is for wmv....I guess what that question was emplying was that I also have wmv files that I am trying to import to imovieHD and that is not working either...I can get my avi to get into imovieHD, but not my wmv. files
    5-THank you for the tip with the trash then another question to this one how do you delet projects that are taking up memory that are no longer in use?
    6-Thank you for the tip...so then ignore the not enough disk space.....how can you alter the disk space so that you can save the project under save project as and not just save project?
    7- Sorry my dad was miss informed I cannot import the wmv. files to imovie and I cannot import imovie to iDVD I only have transferred one and then all of the other files are not seen as movies so I can not import them?? Does that make since
    8- When we were useing the Sony Camera originally we could not import the video to the MAC because it did not have the correct firewire cable and it would not been read onto the MAC computer. So, we have to buy the flip4mac equipment so that I would be able ot download the inoformation to the computer by a wmv.file dvd so we are having difficulites trying to import that file.
    I hope these answers clear up the question a little bit more and sorry that your answers brought out more questions. Thank you very much for helping me. I was using a different program in my college class so changing to imovie and idvd has been a huge struggle for me. Thank you once again.

  • Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disk spacr

    safari could not download the file because there is not enough disk space I have a 1TB hard drive and only use a small amout of space.Mac os x mountain lion (12.8.2), HD 978.59 free out of 999.35GB.Please help Brenton

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
