   Sorry to hear about Your TB problems.   
      
   I use TB on this XP 32-bit computer just for Email.   
   I tried once reading BBS messages in a newsgroup link but wasn't satisfied   
   doing it that way.   
      
   Many years ago I thought to use TB's "Compact" option, thinking it would   
   reduce TB using some HDD Space, after Compacting finished TB's In-Box didn't   
   have any messages in it.   
      
   I think I had over 1000 messages in the In-Box before I Compacted TB but   
   I never have been able to learn how I could had recovered those messages   
   back when they disappeared.   
      
   I had made some Sub-Directories below the In-Box Directory for storing   
   messages by Topic  and the Compacting process didn't mess with the messages   
   I had put in those Sub-Directories.   
      
   See Tagline.
