Hello, just tried restoring a .MBOX from takeout. What am I doing wrong?

Hello I just started with GYB and I just tried to restore an MBOX file from my Google takeout request and nothing happened when I tried to restore it, it just created 2 new SQLITE files instead of actually restoring the information to my mailbox. What am I doing wrong? From what I understand it should work even though this is a Google takeout from another account and I think you only need to provide more parameters to the tool when you're restoring a backup that was made with specifically GYB on another account?

I used the wiki-provided restore command: 

`gyb --email your...@gmail.com --action restore --local-folder "c:\my_gmail_backup"`

I would attach a screenshot of the CMD window but it either has a timeout and closed itself after inactivity, or I closed it and forgot I did lol. However below you can see a screenshot of the folder.

The command yountsn is looking for anGYB backup folder, not mboxnfiles in a folder. To restore mbox files run:

gyb --email your...@gmail.com --action restore-mbox --local-folder "c:\my_gmail_backup"

Much appreciated. I'm currently running the command and it seems to be working. Fingers crossed!
