Missing Sub-folders

I have read and tried previous suggestions about missing folder and sub-folders. I saved all of my folders and sub-folders in a file and deleted the TB program (it had a bug). I reinstalled TB and imported from a previous version. All of my folders re-installed but without sub-folders. I've added IMAP to my POP server settings, made sure I'm looking in Unified folders, done multiple imports and cannot seem to import (or view) my missing sub-folders. I can view them in my saved folder, but can't open them because they are .msf files. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

.msf files are only an index do your folder data

Okay. In my saved file, there are two files listed for each item saved: File and MSF File. These are my sub-folders. Is there a way to move or copy them into my TB Local Folders?
