Emails from LOCAL Folders missing when moving them to a new Windows 11 PC
I've just got a new Win 11 PC and have followed the method to transfer all the emails in my Local folders to the new PC. TBH I've tried many of the methods without success.
I've copied the folders from the relevant directory on the old Win 10 PC onto a USB. With TB closed on the new PC I've copied the folders from the USB to a new Folder in Local Folders directory.
When I open TB, of the ~7,500 emails I copy, only 282 appear
I've tried this many times now with no luck What am I doing wrong please?

Cracked it !!!!!
I was bewildered why my Profile was nearly 5GB I have a total of ~1,500 emails excluding Local Folders It didn't make sense that the profile was so big if there were only 1500 emails.
On new Pc I looked inside the Profile and found the Mail folder - within that folder was a folder named..... LocalFolders I deleted everthing inside and copied Local Folders (inc hidden files) from my old PC to the LocalFolders within the Profile/Mail directory, started TB and they were all there.
If only I had a bottle of champagne to hand....
Thanks again for all your efforts & best wishes

SUPER!!!! Yes, time to celebrate. Although I'm puzzled why earlier copy didn't succeed. But that's not important now. Yes, free drinks all around. :)
