    Hello,

    I am using TB 1.0.2. When I click on the In Box the bottom of the screen displays "building summary file for inbox." Also, the button for Get Mail is not working, but I can get my mail through the menu. I tried to find info on this at BBS and saw something similar with Netscape. Should I delete files with the msf extension? All of them? My mail box is not very full, as I clean it out from time to time. I know I should update, but in the meantime, any help is appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Jeane

    Jeane,

    Deleting the MSF/Index files is an excellent place to start.
    While you are in the Profiles folder, delete your Cache folder, history.dat file, and the XUL.mfl file.

    Also empty the Trash folder, and Compact folders.

    And yes, you definitely need to upgrade... ;)
