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.
