I'm afraid I had to delete the mails several people sent me in response to my question because of the same problems I was talking about. I can't remember what their names were, so I'll try and reply to all of them here:
Someone suggested checking the User Depot registry settings to fix this. I did look at the settings and for some reason the entries for dir#1, dir#2 etc. were empty. I presume this was because I had not set up any specific directories and TB was using the defaults. I modified these entries to reflect the actual directories where I was storing my mail. Unfortunately this didn't work and the problems continued. I haven't tried exporting and importing the whole TB registry key tree yet. I was also asked by someone else why I was using a PU account instead of an admin account for all my work. The reason is security. In Windows, as in Linux, I usually avoid using the Admin account unless I absolutely need to, in case I inadvertently make a systemwide change that could have security implications. I'm not familiar, but not extremely well so with Win2K yet. This also serves to protect me in case I happen to be affected by some kind of malware that spreads and causes damages commensurate with the privileges of the user that executed it. By avoiding the admin account I can minimize the potential danger. As a temporary fix, I've deleted all the shortcuts to TB from my admin desktop so that I don't even TRY to use it from there :) I'd really like to know how someone else has configured their system, however, and what TB tries to save emails in .tmp files in my user's temp directory for.
