I am updating from a PC running Windows 10 to an iMac OS 10.3.6. I have important emails stored in local folders on the PC that I need to keep and access when necessary from the Mac. I have read everything I can find on your website and in forums, and have copied the Thunderbird files onto a thumb drive. (See below the files that were copied). I have no idea what to do now. Please help!

The profile folder on the W10 computer is here:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\8charstring.default

Your picture shows the contents of

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\8charstring.default

which doesn't contain the mail folders, just data caches.

I don't see anything like an mbox file. Here is what I copied from the PC. Maybe this will help...
