Hello! Migrating to Thunderbird 68.2.2 and I'm having a problem importing local messages on my MacBook Pro running 10.15.1. Tools > Import > Mail > Apple Mail leads to a message saying "Mail was successful imported from Apple Mail. No mailboxes were found to import." Mail, however, does have two local folders of mail showing.

I tried to install the ImportExportTools NG 4.0.4 add-on to see if that would help, but selecting Add to Thunderbird doesn't seem to do anything.

Any assistance importing my messages would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks @sfhowes! Had to tweak the instructions a bit, but it did the trick. Much appreciated!

Good point!

The link in the post you shared was a bit easier for me to understand, so I followed its instructions:

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=14069759#p14069759

Those instructions said to put the .mbox files in

Users/username/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/chjkodif.default/Mail/Local Folders/

I don't have the folder chjkodif.default though. The only folder I have there ending in .default is qgqjengt.default, and that folder doesn't have any subfolders. So instead, I put the .mbox files in

Users/username/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/1tuy5853.default-release/Mail/Local Folders/

Thanks again!

Prior to TB 68, the default profile folder was named random8characters.default, but now it's named random8characters.default-release

There is a list of profiles in Help/Troubleshooting Information, about:profiles.
