Your instructions worked perfectly (except for one odd thing) and I'm back to 4.2.44.2 without losing any mail! The odd thing was a problem that occurred during the install when there was an apparently error due to a missing install resource. The missing resource turned out to be the installer for TB 4.0.16 which hasn't been on my system for quite some time. I also thought this was a good time to remove old, leftover TB entries from the Add/Remove software list, so after I ran the 5.0.8 uninstall, I ran the uninstall for "The Bat!" (no version number) which actually did /something/ and ended with a message box saying "The Bat has been removed from your computer. Sad but true." There was a reference to the 4.0.16 installer in the database, but Control Panel would not show any options (like 'uninstall') for it, so I just deleted that entry with another tool. Regardless, I'm happy again. TB is working correctly for the first time in a couple weeks!
