Resolution
The 8210 error is an "Attempt by the file system to create a unique file failed."
In the post office offiles directory, there should be 256 folders. However, after a migration to a new server we have found one of these directories got created as a file. For example the FD12 folder was created as a file. Thus when the POA tries to deliver mail to the post office and create a blob file in the FD12 directory it gets an error attempting to access the FD12 folder.
Delete the file and the folder will be recreated when the POA is restarted.
