Had to upgrade pc O/S.

Saved all old emails to a memory stick under a specific folder. can open each one and save to specific thunderbird folder, but over 5000 times.

How do I import all emails in the folder into a specific thunderbird folder called OLD MAIL.

Is your old mail in mboxes or separate .eml-files? What did you use to save them? (I want to understand how they are stored in what kind of structure and type of files.)
