I have Thunderbird installed on windows 11 and have the import export NG tools add-on. I have an mobx file locally that I am trying to import to thunderbird. I created a local folder and started the import but almost immediately I get this error: "TypeError: window.ietngAddon.mboxCopyImport is not a function", and the only thing that gets imported is the name of the mbox file, as a subfolder

Copy the mbox into Mail/Local Folders in the profile, with TB closed, then restart TB. Does the folder now appear under Local Folders in the Folder Pane?
