My old computer crashed (due to my dog eating some cables). I had Thunderbird on that computer, in Thunderbird I had a submap of the inbox map called 'bewaren'(keep it) with a lot of submaps. I found on the old disk in users/myname/appdata/roaming/thunderbird/profiles the file:Bewaren.sbb with a lot of submaps like: Bridge.sbd in which I see bestuur (30.744 kB, bestuur.msf 370 kB, denksportcentrum 24.052kB and denksportcentrum.msf 82 kB. I would very much like to have these data back on my newly installed Thunderbird on my new computer but where should I put it, somewhere in the profile section ? pls help cause I need some of these documents.

On the new computer, open TB, Help/Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB. Copy the mbox files like bestuur and denksportcentrum, the ones with no extension, into the Mail/Local Folders location of the new profile. Restart TB, and you should see the folders under Local Folders in the Folder Pane.
