Actually, another drive than C: is the best place for your messages, just because C: is the most vulnerable.

If you want to access your old accounts:
Install TB again,
Tell it you'd like to create new accounts.
TB will ask for your new mail directory, pick the directory with your old accounts.
Install a new account and give it the name of your old account, TB will pick up that account info and message base.

For each account, select 'Properties', goto Files & Directories.
See what's your 'Home Directory' - if it says something like <default>, click the Browse button and choose a folder. Then stop TB and put the folders you have backed up into this folder. Then start TB and it will likely read them - if not, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L, which will force it to add any folders under the home dir.

Another way is to create the folders manually in TB - they will appear under the home dir. Then in each of them put the backed-up .TBB and .TBI files (or maybe start with just the .TBB's first)
