Use Thunderbird solely to access an MOBOX archive of my gmail account offline
I'm on Windows 11, I've archived my gmails to a 3GB zip and extracted it to a local MBOX file. I want to sue Thunderbird only to be able to conveniently see these emails. I don't want any accounts, nor to connect Thunderbird to the internet - I juust want to see the gmails.
I've installed Thunderbird, and the import/export Tools NG add-on. It won't let me import to a unified folder, so I deleted the unified folder. I have no "local folders", so I can't right click on one and select import. I can't see how to make one either, and the help is of no help.
I wonder if somebody could tell me, without assuming knowledge I don't have, how to do this please.
Thanks Chris

If you do not want to use THunderbird for email, but only to view an mbox file, use this instead: https://www.mbox-viewer.com/

Thank you David, however, I'd prefer to have total control and therefore, to stay offline for access to these emails.
Thanks again Chris
