INbox corruption
I'm having periodic, random corruption of my Inbox. I have tried deleting the index file and recreating it. No help.
I read previous conversations and, frequently, the advice is to turn off your virus checker. Turning off Norton 360 is not acceptable, unless there is an alternate way of preventing viruses entering through email. Is there another way to handle the problem?
I have about 3500 emails in my Inbox. Could there be a bug that shows up when the Inbox gets big?
I'm running Windows 10 and I have no other corruption problems or oddities on the machine.
Thanks.

The general advice is not to 'turn off' the antivirus, but to exclude the TB profile folder from AV scanning, while retaining the real-time background scanning that should guard against opening infected attachments.

Test the effect of bypassing startup apps like AV by running Windows in safe mode.
Thank you! I've taken your advice and excluded virus scanning of the profile directory. Since this has been happening at random intervals, I probably won't know for awhile. Will post again if trouble recurs.

Also please update even if the problem does not recur. Thanks.
