How do I import Apple mbox's from Apple Mail to Thunderbird. The explanation provided makes no sense. Where do you find this profile folder? How do you import if Thunderbird is closed?

ok, first thins first. The Apple implementation of mbox is not the same as Thunderbird's.

I have no idea what explanation makes no sense, because unfortunately you forgot to link to it. My sugg4estion is you install this addon https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools-ng/?src=ss

Then use the entry it creates on the tools menu (or any folders right click menu) to import your mbox file. If using the tools menu entry importing will occur to whatever folder you have selected in the folder pane.
