It happens at startup because I have several accounts all downloading to the "Global" inbox. Apparently from what I can tell from various forums it's related to having filters set on more than one of the accounts and/or the client attempting to download all of the separate accounts at the same time. Either way it's a pain. The present "solution" is to either

a) Turn off all filters except on one account

or

b) Not use the "Global" inbox function.

I'm not prepared to do either to be frank. To do so would make TB too unuser friendly for me to consider bothering with. As I stated before I actually like Outlook Express. My only complaint with it is it's lack of spam filtering. I know that such filtering is never perfect but TB seems to work quite well in this regard.

So currently I'm perservering with TB just for its junk mail handling advantage. But I must say that my patience is wearing thin with it, and I'm probably going to swap back soon. I don't really have that much spam anyway.
