I had a HDD failure. The rescued files restored emails but not in folders as they were and no local folders now exist. I know that the emails still exist as a global search finds them but is there any way of restoring them to their local folders?

I've found some files which contain the missing items in Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5dkwxh73.default\Mail\Local Folders if that helps. 

Thanks

Presumably what you see is the information from the search index. That doesn't necessarily mean your messages still exist.

Not from the index. You'd need to restore a backup of your profile folder.

First of all, create a backup of your current profile while Thunderbird is closed. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_backing-up-a-profile

Thunderbird needs to be closed for the following. Copy the 'Local Folders' folder underneath 5dkwxh73.default\Mail from the backup and paste it into the 'Mail' folder of your current profile.

Start Thunderbird.
