Converted Outlook pst files with Stellar converter to bring them into Thunderbird 91.0.3. The directions in Stellar (put the converted files into Thunderbird Profiles folder, did not make them accessible in Thunderbird (could not even see them). Went in Thunderbird and using Local Folders directed Thunderbird to where the converted files are. The folders are visible in Thunderbird but no email files are. What do I need to do to cause the converted files to be visible in Thunderbird?

If you converted pst to mbox files, the mbox files should be copied into Mail/Local Folders in the profile folder, while TB is closed. On restart, the folders should be under Local Folders in the Folder Pane. The mbox files should have no extension like .mbox. Help/More Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, to open the profile.
