Cannot make tbird read the mbox files I've just converted from Outlook

Just paid for a converter and successfully converted a few thousand outlook messages and folders into a bunch of mbox files.

Can't figure out how to get Thunderbird to read them. Created a new profile (Historical) and pointed it at the folder where I've installed the converted files but can't see any way, within the profile, to get tbird to take any notice of them!

Thankyou sfhowes

Should have check in earlier. The problem actually sorted itself. We opened Tbird the following day and the folders are all in place! As it ain't broke, I won't try to fix it!

Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Open Folder to open the profile in File Explorer, close TB. Copy the mbox files into the Mail/Local Folders subfolder. When you restart TB, you should see the folders under Local Folders in the (left) Folder Pane.
