Please help/hint : unable to create new message, TB freezes when creating new message from main account
 
Hi folks ! Please help ! I'm desperate :(

I've been using TB since a couple of years (okay, even worked on its localization/translation, well, that's old stuff ..). Just to say I'm quite used to it and never encountered such a problem so far.

Today, I wanted to send a mail from my main account and every time I try to write a new message (either through ctrl-N, or "reply", or "new message" item in the menu), TB freezes on me (no crash, just a freeze)

(I'm using TB v2.01.xx)

The weird thing is that I can open the Editor window from my other accounts, no problem, only my main account leads to a freeze. Ctrl-Shift-Alt-L didn't help fix the problem.

I zipped the whole directory, cleared the registry, unzipped back, it didn't fix it.

If anyone had the same problem and know how to fix it, I'd be very glad to him/her.
Thanks a bunch.

 
My first guess (I'm guessing only) is that it could be caused by corrupt account setup.

Copy the account directory including subdirs and files to a safe location

Now delete the account in TB and wipe the account info.
Create the account again (this means you'll have to be able to find your server settings and password.)
Close TB
Copy the account directory back to its old location without the account.cfg or account.cfn file (I'm not sure which one is used by v2)
Start TB again
Try to use the problem account again.

Hi !

Yes, it seems it was a problem with a corrupt account settings and deleting the account in TB and copying files back fixed it.

Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards.
