Before I wiped my laptop clean of all its 64 bit Windows 10 software I copied its contents to my external drive. The hundreds of old local folders are located on the external drive at

D:\XPS15\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\oan1e497.default\Mail\Local Folders

and the newly installed Mozilla on the 64 bit Windows 11 laptop contains a mere dozen of local folders located at

C:\Users\bobby\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\wi6x6mkz.default-release\Mail\Local Folders

Notice the slight change in the name of the user. The new installation of Mozilla is Version 102.2.

My question is: Which directory on the new laptop must be replaced to add the old local folders to the folders on the newly restored laptop?

Thank you
