I think I'll settle for just moving the message folders, since I
should be able to do that without a re-install of TB!, something I
just don't feel like doing given that it's working fine as is.

Hadn't thought about the need to defrag periodically, but not a
problem, and I will ensure there's plenty of space on the disk.

I'll give it a try, but another question just occurred to me: When I
backup my drive to an external drive, am I correct in assuming that
the encrypted disk may not copy correctly?
