Re-sizing Inbox page from 1/2 screen back to full screen lost all my Inbox and other info and I can't get back to initial TB opening page

Topic: My ignorance! Working side by side with my bank account 1/2 size, and 2 columns of my inbox screen 1/2 size worked great! A job well done! Re-sizing TB screen back to normal size caused a large blank screen, headed "Inbox", with only a couple of blank columns, no folders, no Sent, no Trash, and it is unresponsive. I went out and back in and it is the same. I didn't do anything unusual. This is a fairly routine action. Please can you help?

It would be helpful if you showed us a screen shot so we know what you mean. You can redact anything that you think is sensitive.

In the meantime, perhaps changing from to another layout option might force things back into position. Those options are found at menu item <View | Layout>. If the menu is hidden, press <Alt> or <F10> to reveal it. Play around with the various options and see if that gets you anything you like.
