Can't see emails in inbox and another folder

Earlier this month I stopped being able to see the emails in one of the inboxes in TB. When I am in the folder, its literally all white in the message window, including the sort headers (i.e. subject, from, etc.). The emails are there however. If I click where I think they will be I can then see the email that is selected in the bottom window (the top window is still blank). Its as if the font was turned to white against a white background.

It first happened with just the inbox. When I couldn't find a solution, I created a new folder, named it inbox, and had messages directed there. However now two more folders are going blank. Clearly something is corrupted and spreading.

I have ridiculous amount of messages. I am not sure if this is the problem, but they are work emails that go back nearly 10 years (just a side note).

right click the folder, select properties and then repair

If only it were so easy . . . sadly it didn't fix it.

Next simple solution... reinstall and see if that fixes a corrupt program component.
