I was of the thought that using a Mail Reader with the Option to Delete
Messages from the Email Server and keeping them in the In-Box was the
way it worked.
I used TB a few years before it BURPED on me.

Recently I read a TB Web Page that said to move messages from the In-Box to
another area.
As much as I like to research things I messed up on Not Doing that with TB.

Something like that happened to me also.

I learned that I must had accidently clicked the Link on MWB's screen to
start the Trial Period for their Premium version.

I think that Link is at the bottom right of the MWB window.

I believe I read that comment at AVAST!, but memory fails me if that is
where I read about AVG.

I was reading a web page about the History of Ham Radio and noticed
that writer explained Silent Key meant both terms.

Either the Key had quit being used for a while.
Or that the Keys owner had passed away.

In my mind I believe the page I was reading was written by a Frenchman,
not by someone on my side of the great pond.
