  From what I remember, TB doesn't mind the file size, it's the
  operating system that has the most issues with it (I think a 2gig
  file size limit).  But there is a possibility that an index limit
  may be possible to break somewhere before then.

  .tbb is the mail file (a uuencoded file with all the emails in it)
  and .tbi is the index file for the .tbb file.
