I have 128.5.2esr (64-bit) on two different machines.

Both have been experiencing LONG delays sending emails, where the error message is that the email was sent but it couldn't be stored in the sent folder. I have followed instructions to repair that folder but that hasn't had any effect.

This morning this happened again, this time it wouldn't store in either sent or drafts folders. I ran disk checking with no errors reported and no other programs are showing any problems. There is plenty of free disk space, I am only using 407 MB of a 4 TB drive.

I noticed slowness opening a message so went in and did a repair on my inbox. All messages disappeared. Quit TB and restarted, same, no messages. So I did a repair again. The messages reappeared, but most are empty! I don't keep many messages in my inbox, just really critical ones, and now they are all gone.

New emails display correctly.

How can I recover these messages? Some are actually really critical and would take some work to locate as I receive an intense amount of emails and some of the critical ones are months old so would take an enormous amount of time to find in the gmail system.

Please help with suggestions, not only on this but in having TB work without these recurring problems.
