thanks for that.

To get access to my emails should I just copy and paste them to the new
location, or is there a better way to access them?

I don't know a quicker way. TB does not facilitate export/import of its
own (mail) files for that matter.
Copy the mail files to the new location. You may skip the indexes (.msf)
which are then build on opening the folders (in TB) later on.
