That definitely sounds like what happened, and it also shows that your
older messages are all still intact.

Dragging the folder back up to its proper level should put things back as
theyy were before the move, but you may find that initially all the
sub-folders seem to be empty. I had that experience when I copied my
installation from one machine to another. However I discovered that when I
clicked on any of the "empty" folders, it immediately was re-populated.
Apparently there are internal indexes that don't get built when moving the
mail system, but do get built on the first attempt to access the folder.

It was quite disconcerting at first, but all turned out well once I had
found out how to trigger the rebuilding action!

One caution: instead of deleting the present top-level structure, I would
simply rename it to something like "My Doicuments\tb.new" so that you don't
lose the messages that it contains. You can them import them back into
their rightful locations after restoring the original files.
