I've received some profile folders and asked to get them to work again. these are just ctrl+x-ed out of the old system - see the attached image- , and can't really get Thunderbird to recognize and load them now. Could someone help please?

I believe the import-export addon can do this. Create a folder in Local Folders, highlight and rightclick and select import-export and click to import mbox. Another approach is to exit thunderbird, copy the inbox message file to Mail\Local Folders folder and restart thunderbird.
