In the past I've always been able to restore email subfolders and the emails in those folders to Local Folders by copying over the files from the profile directory of a previous installation under Mail/Local Folders

But I'm trying it now on v. 128.6.1esr (64-bit) and it no longer works.

e.g. I do the following with TB closed: $ cd [old_profile_dir]/Mail/Local\ Folders/ $ cp -r Archives* Sent* Templates* [new_profile_dir]/Mail/Local\ Folders/

When I reopen neither the emails nor their folders are there.

If I try creating all of the relevant folders from within thunderbird, then closing it and copying over in the same way, it similarly seems has no effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I've figured it out: I was overly hasty in creating and restoring to the new "Local Folders" directory such that I did it before Thunderbird had created it. So Thunderbird seems to have seen the directory already existed and instead created "Local Folders-1" which it used for that purpose, which is why changes to "Local Folders" weren't being reflected.

Wužitny?
