One approach that I've taken _countless_ times and which doesn't involve
touching the registry (but which _does_ preserve all the account
settings...) is:
1. Reinstall TB! wherever you want it.
2. When it automatically starts running, kill it.
3. Copy all of the ./mail/* stuff over to your new installation
4. Start TB! and then start re-creating your accounts... just specify
the folder (if your account name is different than your folder
name... if not, you can leave it on default...)
This approach does lose things such as your editor preferences, whether
or not you have the ticker going, etc... (ie/ the preferences that are
global rather than account-specific) but templates, macros, servers,
filters, etc. are all saved.
What does exporting the registry help save?
