My old PC with my mail data failed. I copied all.the mail data from my backup to a new PC *but* I had failed to backup the profiles directory. Is there any way to recreate the profiles directory from the content of the mail directory please? All the new mails are fine, I just have none of my old emails accessible. Any help appreciated. Iain

What exactly do you have from the backup? Is it a folder called Mail? Post screenshots so that we see what you see.
