Bugzilla

I wouldn't worry too much about the INBOX and INBOX.msf files getting corrupted since whatever they contain is still on the gmail server and tb just mirrors the content locally. If you shutdown tb and delete both of them (but make a backup before deleting them if you are concerned) and then restart tb they will be recreated when tb tries to check new mail in Inbox. Of course, this will take some time for the download to occur depending on how much is in Inbox.

The alternative to this the the "repair" function but I find this manual method of just deleting the files to be more effective. But then I've only had to do this rarely when I am tweaking the tb code and I've messed something up myself.

Do you have tb setup to check other folders for new mail? If not, then Inbox should be the only folder that is accessed on tb startup if you shutdown tb with Inbox selected.

Note: If you see other files with number suffixes like Inbox-2 or Inbox-2.msf you should delete them too. (I think the highest suffixed files is the one actually in use so you might want to back them up too.)

I don't know but I've never been able to get useful info from activity msg so probably would help.

I run TB and FF together all the time and do TB logging with no problem. There was one corner issue but it was a very special case that shouldn't apply to a short term IMAP:5 logging session. You just create a bat file and run it.

If you start an earlier tb version with the ```--allow-downgrade``` option it works fine for me. I don't see a problem. You may need to add this to the "shortcut" parameters that you click on to start tb. However, let try to fix the problem you are seeing using the latest beta before reverting to the earlier version.
