Move emails in local folder on a PC to a new Mac
I am updating from a PC running Windows 10 to an iMac OS 10.3.6. I have important emails stored in local folders on the PC that I need to keep and access when necessary from the Mac. I have read everything I can find on your website and in forums, and have copied the Thunderbird files onto a thumb drive. (See below the files that were copied). I have no idea what to do now. Please help!

The profile folder on the W10 computer is here:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\8charstring.default
Your picture shows the contents of
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\8charstring.default
which doesn't contain the mail folders, just data caches.

Pictures aren't allowed on your first post, but if you copied the mbox files, the large ones with no extension, just copy them to the Mail/Local Folders subfolder of the Mac's profile folder: Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Open or Show Folder, close TB, copy the mbox files to Local Folders. They should appear under Local Folders in TB when you launch TB.
I don't see anything like an mbox file. Here is what I copied from the PC. Maybe this will help...
