Description edmund 2016-07-11 21:07:22 UTC
Linux Mint 17.2 XFCE
Claws 3.11.1

Error while downloading attachment, hangs at around 30 MB, log file :
"can't write file"

After that the email address is unusable, I first have to use the web browser
go to "webmail" and delete the email(s) with the attachment.

That's a gmail restriction, nothing we can do about that:

In this case the problem isn't gmail because it isn't a gmail account.
Neither is it a problem of the other provider ( gmx.net ) because on another computer the files are received without any problem.

To make it even more complicated, it holds the same version of Claws that gives this error under MINT.
No error under Ubuntu-Studio although both Mint and Ubuntu( studio ) should behave identical as far as I know.

Searching for a solution I stumbled upon very similar problems but those where all under Windows. Still it might be helpful finding a solution.
Comment 3 Paul 2016-07-12 11:56:12 UTC
Ok. Then you need to provide more (accurate) information.
e.g. the debug output when this happens (start with `claws-mail --debug`).
Does this happen with the latest claws-mail release (3.13.2)?

If you're saying that this happens on Mint, but doesn't happen on ubuntu with the very same version, then it appears to be a local problem, and is still, therefore, INVALID.

I saw that passing but why? 
I thought that the OS ( Mint ) should take care of that, I got plenty disk space left. Is there a user friendly tool to see what is happening and why is Mint not
managing this correctly?

Probably your /home parition is smaller than you want it to be. Try:

df -h

Indeed not too much space left but I would think more then enough for a 40 MB attachment. 
In the mean time I deleted some stuff now it looks like this.

 $ df -h

/dev/sda3       206G  181G   14G  93% /home

Don't know yet if this cured the problem because I deleted the file via the webmail on the server.

Addition, I just checked and it is working now.
Big THANK YOU.

You now have 206 > 195 (181 + 14), and the missing space (11G) roughly matches the 5% of blocks reserved for root user, which is the default for ext formatting tools.

This space cannot be used by non-root users, so it could be you had hit this limit.

See manpage for tune2fs tool on how to change this value to 0 and make the full capacity of the partition available for non-root users.
