I had exactly the same problem between ESET and TB a few months ago... I don't think it was a webmail extension issue. I tried changing the level of integration between ESET and TB, but it made no difference. In the end, I uninstalled ESET and started with a clean install and everything has worked fine since. I think something must have gone astray during one of ESET's updates??
