Tbird will not recognize Local Folders

I have imported email folders from Outlook. My Tbird profile, in the Mail folder, shows Local Folders and Local Folders-1. However, none of my email folders from Outlook show up when I run Tbird. It looks like the Local Folders folder contains this information.

How do I get Tbird to recognize and use the contents of Local Folders?

Thanks.

If you select Local Folders in the left pane of Tools/Account Settings, what is the Local Directory in the right pane? Is it pointing to Mail/Local Folders or Mail/Local Folders-1? Where are your imported Outlook folders?

Thank you!

I redirected Local Folders to point to "Mail/Local Folders", which contains the imported Outlook folders, and I can now access them. Fifteen years of stored email! Thank you very much.
