Hi Charles,
On 19 December 2000 at 12:34:02 -0600 (which was 18:34 where I
live) Charles Vickers wrote and made these points:

There are a couple of things to be said here. The first is that TB
keeps most of its configuration in the registry. If you have wiped
down the registry then you have lost the settings for TB.
If you can see the user names (I have to assume that you mean
"accounts" here) then you are certainly heading in the right
direction.
Lost mail folders can be recovered by use of the Ctrl-Alt-Shift-L
special keystroke.
"Empty" folders can be revived by deleting the .tbi (index) files in
the system folders and forcing TB to re-index the .tbb mail folders.
NB: the .tbi files contain some other information, like memos, which
will not survive this operation.
