Hi, 

 I have a new computer with Thunderbird 31.8 installed and email is working.  I took my old pst file (from my old computer), created a folder on my desktop, and converted it to mbox using softtaken mailbox converter. How do I import these files into Thunderbird?

Respectfully, Richard Peterson

Help/Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, copy the mbox files into Mail\Local Folders. Restart TB and find the folders under Local Folders in the Folder Pane.
