I've never had a problem upgrading TB! - just install the new version
over the old. For ultimate safety, I would always recommend backing up
your "Mail" folder first.
Somewhere between 1.41 and 1.46 I seem to remember TB changed the file
format (?) for its messages. Everything was converted without a hitch.

I have/had the same thing happen, and will take an uneducated guess
here: maybe you're running into the rogue Dial-up Connection blip.
That's what happens with me, anyway.
Under your Account Options: do you have Mailbox Checking - Periodical
Checking enabled for a specific period? I have (check every 5 mins.).
Under your Account Network, do you have Use Account-specific Network
Settings enabled? If yes, do you have "No automatic dial for
periodical checking" and "Use an existing dialup connection" enabled?
Those were my settings, and I figured that for some reason TB! seemed
to disregard the "No automatic dial for periodical checking" under
certain circumstances.
I have now completely unchecked the Account-specific Network Settings
on the Network tab, and that - so far - seems to have cured the
problem.
I also went to the TBUDL list archive and did a search for "DUN" and
"dial-up connection" and found quite a lot of helpful messages there
regarding the various settings - if you need to dig into it further.

same here - it appears at odd times ... comes and goes in phases; I
have never been able to pin down exactly *when* and under what
conditions it suddenly springs to life. I seems to be when I've had a
hiccup, like being disconnected but continuing to use TB! (offline
now) and it seems to think it now ought to check for the connection
and prompt me to dial up again.
Anyway - it's just a shot in the dark, but maybe this is what is
happening in your case?
