That is success! You now have the folder tree in TB.

OK, I understand that you mean your emails are not seen, these folders are =
all empty without mails.

If that is correct, close TB. Then copy the .TBB files from your harddisk (=
the safe location where you backed up everything) and copy them into the fo=
lder structure on your HD.

Here is what I mean: In TB, when you go to Archives New / Archives July 202=
4 / Inbox, the Inbox is empty even though there should be messages. Try the=
 above with this one folder first. Then open TB and see whether the message=
s are are there.

If yes, you can proceed with the other folders and subfolders, just copying=
 the .TBB files from your backup intot he TB directories and subdirectories=
. Don't worry about the .TBN files; these are the index files and will be r=
ecreated automatically when you go to each folder, and if there are many me=
ssages, it may take a couple of seconds are a minute.
