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.

The new machine is not quick to send a post to junk or trash. I see a message about downloading it before I see it move. Going over settings comparing both, old machine was set to a Pop mail server. The remote helper changed that oh New one to IMAP Mail server. I'm assuming that is the problem but I can't find how to change the new setting from IMAP to POP. There is a red Delete button on the A/C settings page. Should I try that?

Also since I couldn’t use the profile from corrupted old machine I've manually input everything in the new. I have used the Draft files in the old machine as a sort of reminder for me and want to copy it and bring it Into the new machine. Is there a way to do that?

I hope this is concise enough.

This error message keeps popping up many times a day and is very annoying. I notice that others are getting the same error message but haven't found a fix for it. See image of the whole error message attached.

The weird thing is no matter which of the 3 options I choose it keeps coming back... sometimes within a few second. Also it doesn't prevent me from getting my email. Really odd.  ???

Anyone find a fix yet? Thanks.
