By TOC I meant NCX - an NCX is one of the two types of TOCs that the Kindle uses. The NCX is used for the chapter tics, and the inline TOC is used for the user visible TOC.

Many users use Calibre to create a mobi NCX from an epub NCX, which is clearly what you're trying to do. Calibre's default settings will do this for you automatically. The fact that it's not working for you means you have something configured incorrectly. The most likely thing is that you've enabled the option I already mentioned. I got the wording slightly off before - the actual text of the option is "Force use of auto-generated Table of Contents". Make sure this is disabled in the conversion options. It's in the "Table of Contents" panel of the conversion options.
