TB 69 (Beta) shut down by power failure. When back on, all email folders gone. Profile folder (21 GB) seems intact. How to re-integrate?

Had a power failure while TB 69 was open. When I re-started, TB needed a new email acct set up - no problem there. Same email address, etc). But when TB re-started, all of the previous email folders were gone. Checked profile folder, 21 GB mail folder seems intact.

How do I get everything to show up as before? Thank you Bob

It's a common problem that happens with unexpected shutdowns:

Worked out very well, thank you. I wound up with TB Beta 70 which seems to have a couple of issues but that's a trivial story for some other time. Thanks again Bob
