I have re-installed TB after crash and got most of my profile back. However several subtrees in my mail I found elsewhere. I put the subtrees under 'Local Folders' (I have three POPs and share 'Local Folders' inbox), top file named, pre-install.sbd .. but starting up TB neither it nor anything under is seen. Creating a 'pre-install' subfolder under 'Local Folders' does not do anything despite no .msf file and using the properties -> repair button. How to reattach quite a few files? ..

Ok. More or less fixed. A great deal missing. I used the somewhat flaky import-export add-on. The only thing that would work for me was the 'import mbox', single mbox. Made up my own structure.

Gads. I have far more on other disks. Do not look forward to looking through and decoding them.

SOLVED. I guess.
