lost all filters

A week ago for some reason that I don't recall a window appeared to the effect that the filters for mail to the folder "inbox" subfolder "me" would be inactivated. The next day I added the "x" to that filter, and the same the following day. The third day, all filters were missing and the msg filters file was reduced to 1kb.

Today copied the msgfilter file from a backup thumb drive (14kb) and all is fine.

In years of using TB & prior nuances have never had this occur on the desktop. Question what causes this and how to prevent it in the future.

This occurred a 2nd time

This occurred a 2nd time about 2 weeks after the 1st occasion and again a week after that. No notice given, simply when the program was started, the filters were gone. Again copied the file from a backup thumb drive and OK.

Certainly is annoying when on a public computer and attempting to rush. Does anyone have any idea what may cause this?
