Recovering Thunderbird emails without MBOX or profile information

I had set-up Thunderbird to Store messages in specific folder in my hard drive (not the default Thunderbird storage folder). I had to change my machine and had set-up my back-up to just copy this storage folder.

Seems this folder does not have the profile or MBOX files.

Now I need to restore these emails. Is there a way to restore these emails. The folder structure looks like the following:

MAIN FOLDER 

     Folder1 (this is a folder which contains two subfolders namely CUR and TMP. The CUR folder contains some files without extension and they have a 15 number name)
     Folder1.mozmsgs (this is a folder and contains .wdseml files)
     Folder1.sbd (this is a folder)
     Folder1.msf (this is a file)

And this sub-folder/ file structure repeats itself under the .sbd folder. I have tried Importtools NG and also SYStoolsMBOX Converter but neither worked.

Any help in recovering these mails would be highly appreciated.

Further update: Using the answer posted on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1136955, I tried copying a few NO EXTENSION files to the root of local folder and restarted Thunderbird. Each such copied file resulted into a new folder being created. Hence each mail now is in its own folder. How do I now consolidate all these files into one folder as I might be running into 50K+ emails.
