I don't agree it's buggy, what it did for you is exactly what it should
do. It should search for folders on your hard drive inside your folder
tree and add these to your TB! folder tree. If a folder contains a file
named messages.tbb, how should TB! know it's not a message folder?

What might be a good idea though is not letting the user store any TB!
related files except message folders inside the folder tree. Or at least
issue a warning when a user tries to.
