I've upgraded my daughter's tablet from the awful "resident" Windows 8 mail program to Thunderbird and would like to import her old .eml email files into her TB inbox.

I've seen threads instructing how to do this if the old emails are stored on an IMAP account (gmail, yahoo, etc.). But we don't have an IMAP account. Just the .eml files from our POP3 provider in the weird locations where Windows 8 put them (long path names with numbers).

If anyone knows how to make Thunderbird import these, please respond. Thank you.

There is an add-on to TB which allows import and export of emails in various formats to a separate storage medium (external disk, thumb drive, etc.).

The instructions on how to download and install it can be found at http://barryduggan.info/exportMail.php

You should be able to import the .eml with that.
