local folders

Thunderbird Inne

I had a problem where my user got corrupted and I had to create a new user. I fortunately had a backup of Thunderbird which was created by the ImportExport add-on. I was able to restore my Thunderbird but I must have not backed it up for a couple of months. I do have a backup of my PC that was created on 10/3/17. I can see the profile and folder that has my local folders in it. I have what I want in that folder. I can open the folder with notepad and see the emails. Is there an option with the ImportExport tool to restore that folder? I know there are several options with the tool, but I don't know which one to use. There are several import options that sound like they may restore the emails.

From what I have read it appears that with the ImportExport tool you can import a mbox file. I have found the file I want in a backup. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

What I ended up doing is I have software that will do a backup of my user files weekly. I had a backup of the profile just before this started. I ended up importing that profile and I was whole again. I was nervous about doing that but it worked perfectly.

Just to make sure I understand. If I had not imported my profile I could selected the mbox file from my profile and imported that file?

If you import a mbox file do you right click on the folder where you want to import the mbox file?
