Not knowing the layout of the bak file, you need to somehow extract the files as they would have appeared on computer. The thunderbird data would have most likely been in a folder named thunderbird that was appended to a folder named roamin, appended to a folder names appdata. If you can somehow create the extract of the bak and are unsure, just post a screenshot of the unzipped/exported BAK and we can assist
