TB not showing all local folders after new TB installation on Win 11 and migration of profile from old Win 10 computer

I used TB for many years on several computers. Last week, I had to reinstall TB on a Win 11 computer, and tried to migrate my TB profile from the Win 10 computer. However, this is an ongoing problem. After several attempts, I have a TB profile on the Win 11 computer that seems to look OK. However, when I open TB, not all the local folders appear in the TB Local folders menu. I read several discussions and guides from other TB users, and tried the suggested fixes. They did not solve the problem. The Local Folders exist in the profile in the Mail folder. When I open the Local Folders, I can see all my local folders that were copied from the TB profile on the Win 10 computers. These include .mozmsgs and .sbd folders. When scrolling down in the Local Folders, after the .mozmsgs and .sbd folders, I can see pairs of folder names w/o extensions (the open with notepad and contain text) and files with the same names but with .msf extensions.

So, theoretically, all the local folders should show up when opening TB. But they don't.

At this stage, I don't know what to do, and I would appreciate your help.

Thank you.
