Well, I spent the better part of the weekend and this morning playing
around trying to get Voyager to a useable point and am tossing in the
towel. Here's my laundry list of woes:

When trying to restore a backup from my "main" TB! program Voyager
insists on writing the directories using the original path. So in my
original mail folder I end up with all the normal files along with
encrypted folders along side. If I make the original path unreadable
all I get is errors in Voyager telling me it can't write to it - which
it shouldn't be doing anyway!

I have not been able to get any common filters copied over to it.

If I just copy the folders from my main program over to the USB drive
and try to point Voyager to use that as the home for a new account it
doesn't recognize any of the content in those folders and just creates
a new empty account.

In trying countless numbers of restores to be able to use my existing
folders, filters, etc. I would often end up getting .exe errors where
the only way to get Voyager working again was to wipe it out
completely and start over again fresh.

On some fresh installs I would end up with a program that wouldn't
allow any additions to filters. Any changes I made were lost between
sessions.

As a long time user of TB! I'm well aware of things not being user
friendly and needing a pioneer spirit to work with the program but
Voyager has kicked my ass. I upgraded to Pro just for the use of
Voyager as it's the program I've been waiting for.  Hopefully, it's
just a matter of waiting a little longer and not a sign of how hard it
might be to get all the years of getting TB! to work the way I want
it transferred over to a mobile app.

While I know the above sounds like a lot of complaining, it's coming
more from days of frustration and I wrote it mainly to let Max and
company know there's someone who is not having a good experience with
the program and that there might be real problems with people trying
to do a "simple" backup and restore from TB! to Voyager.
