Trying to access things like the new calendar require opening Tools, but it isn't there.

I have two e-mail accounts that come into TB, and I can have a tab open for one or the other of them, but that's it. No toolbar with the usual stuff (Files, Tools, etc).

Press Alt or F10 to restore the menu bar. Also take a look at this article.

Hello CrlBrdgs, any luck if you right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar in the pop-up menu ?

thank you

Thanks for the help. Hitting Alt did the job! Then I tried ideato's suggestion and found the dropdown menu.

Thanks to both of you- it was one of those things where you know there's probably an obvious solution, but it's driving you crazy by hiding right in front of you!
