I use TB 13, believe it or not. Why? B/c I despise change -- it's streamlined, efficient, perfect. Now the pure evil known as Gmail is blocking me from downloading my messages. I hear I need to upgrade to at least TB 68 to use OAuth and surmount this problem. When I got my new comp I tried to get the new TB but it seemed so unorganized/complicated and as if it didn't function like TB13 -- the absolutely crucial and most important key function being: No need to be online to do anything. I can write a new message, save it, send it later. I can download messages when I feel like it. Read them offline. Reply to them offline. Connect when I want to and send the messages. Is this still possible with TB 68+? Create folders, again offline. I do not want to depend on being online for absolutely anything, except to send and receive messages. Can someone tell me if this is still possible using new versions of TB?

I've long forgotten ver 68, but I can state that ver 91 allows offline use.
