Claws Mail Network Log Error "can't write file"

Hello Everyone,
I have Claws v3.4.0-1 installed in ITOS 2007 running a N800. I had an
epiphany the other day which caused me to screw around with moving my
files. I had been saving my files to one of the memory cards and not to
the device flash. I have now moved them into the device flash and now
use Grsync to sync my entire /home/ to a memory card as a backup. Now
when Claws checks mail it stops at the first (main) of three accounts
setup and exits with the error message "can't write file". I opted to
open the log which told me it was the network log. I searched online for
a solution which came up empty so far. That would be Google, ITT and
Claws. I checked to see if I had matching logs in my backup on the
memory card and on the device. I found /.claws-mail/claws.log in both.
Did I screw up my permissions somehow? If I opt to receive mail from
either of the other two accounts separately I get all the mail from all
three accounts into that mailbox. Can someone point me in the right
direction?

Best Regards,

Turns out this was first in a line of several oddities that culminated
in a reboot loop. That was my last kick-in-the-pants to finally flash
the Diablo image! So it's fixed. Somewhat of a drastic fix but it
worked ;)

Hi Everyone,
As it turns out it is of course much simpler than it was. l
Having moved all my files onto the device flash, I had no more room for
log files. I had the same problem with Diablo when that occurred to me.
Doh! Moving my files back onto a memory card solved the problem.

Best Regards,
